Man sentenced to 30 years in prison for robbing GHC 1,950 and personal items at Assin Praso.
The Central North Regional Police Command has successfully secured a 30-year prison sentence for Frank Owusu, popularly known as “Lifer,” after he was convicted of armed robbery and illegal possession of a firearm.
Owusu was found guilty of robbing a woman at gunpoint at Assin Praso on March 29, 2025, making away with GHC 1,950 and other personal items.
He fled the scene, abandoning a locally made pistol, but was later arrested at his hideout in Assin Nyankomase on September 27.
He pleaded guilty before the Nsuaem Kyekyewere Circuit Court and received 30 years in prison with hard labour for robbery and an additional two months for unlawful firearm possession, both sentences to run concurrently.
Owusu has since been transferred to the Ankaful Prisons.
The police reaffirmed their commitment to pursuing and bringing all armed robbers to justice.
