Michael Antwi Boasiako, who was involved in a robbery incident at Wawase, near Dominase, in the Bekwai Municipality, has been sentenced to 20 years imprisonment by the Bekwai Circuit Court.
This came to light at a media briefing by the Regional Police Commander, DCOP Joseph Hammond Nyaaba, at Bekwai, yesterday.
He stated that on the August 14, 2025 Michael Antwi Boasiako and his accomplice, now at large, hired the services of a Pragya rider, Godfred Tabi, to be taken to Wawase village, but attacked him on the way and took the Pragya from him, but was arrested by some good Samaritans who handed him over to the police.
In another development, DCOP Nyaaba said the Juaso Police have busted a robbery/rapists gang that has specialised in robbing and raping their victims, mainly young ladies and students, and abandoning them to their fate after the harrowing ordeals.
He said the suspects lured their victims into a private car under the pretence of giving them a lift to their destinations, and then whisk them away to their hideouts at locations along the Morso road and rob and rape them.
The Commander said the Juaso District Police Command devised a strategy and arrested twelve suspects.
He said five of them namely David Adusa, Samuel Amantor, Andrew Osei, Shariff Mohammed and Joseph Addo Ofori were found to have been seriously implicated in the case and have been remanded to reappear on January 28, 2026.
The third case was the arrest of nine persons for their suspected involvement in the attack of public officers on January 3, 2026.
He stated that the nine attacked and beat up two security personnel while they were providing security for a football match and have been remanded.
