A 36-year-old notorious armed robber, Stanley Afaku, who attacked a security guard at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional hospital in Sekondi at gun point, has been sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment.

The Sekondi circuit court presided over by Her Honour Naa Amberley Akowuah, convicted Afaku, a Nigerian, after he pleaded guilty to the offence of robbery.

During the ruling, the judge ordered that Afaku should be deported by the Ghana Immigration Service after completing his jail term.

His accomplice, Samuel Nickson alias Egya Acquah, who is already facing another charge of robbery, denied the offence and was remanded into police custody to come before the court again on June 24, 2025.
