The Wa Circuit Court has sentenced two men, Abdulai Ibrahim alias Baba, 34, a driver’s mate, and Abdulai Kipo, 36, a butcher, to a combined 46 years in prison for their involvement in multiple robbery incidents.
Presided over by His Honour Jonathan Avoogo, the court found the two guilty of conspiracy to commit robbery and robbery itself. Ibrahim received a 28-year sentence with hard labour, while Kipo was sentenced to 18 years, also with hard labour.
The duo were linked to a string of robberies in the Napogbakole, Danko, SSNIT, and Konta areas within the Wa Municipality in the Upper West Region.
Their arrest followed intelligence-led investigations by the Upper West Regional Police Intelligence Directorate, which gathered substantial evidence to secure their conviction.
In a statement, the Upper West Regional Police Command welcomed the ruling, stating that it reinforces their commitment to law enforcement and public safety. “The verdict underscores our resolve to make the region safe and to pursue criminals without relenting,” the statement said.
The police also assured the public of continued efforts to clamp down on crime and protect lives and property in the region.
