The court ordered that the sentences should run concurrently.

The case was linked to an incident that happened on September 23, 2025 at Asempaneye, near Akomadan, along the Kumasi-Techiman Highway.

A driver and his mate, who were transporting bags of fertilizer in a trailer truck, had stopped for repairs after their vehicle broke down.

Around 1:30 AM, the three convicts, all residents of Asempaneye, attacked the victims with an axe, a machete, and a pair of scissors.

They robbed them of a Samsung smartphone valued at GHC 14,000, an Itel smartphone, an Itel keypad phone, two bags containing personal belongings, and cash of GHC 140.

The Ashanti North Police Command explained that the swift intervention of the youth in the community led to the arrest of the three suspects on the same day.

The stolen items were retrieved, and during investigations, the convicts admitted to the crime.

The police confirmed that the men have since been transferred to serve their sentences.
