Two persons have been jailed 15 years each in hard labour by an Accra Circuit Court for robbery.
The convicts, Mohammed Abdulai also known as Dangote, a headporter, and Abass Issah,21, a vulcaniser robbed two people of their pen drive and two Techno mobile phones all valued GH¢250.00 and GH¢200.00 cash at knife point at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle, Accra, last year.
They were convicted and jailed on the offences of conspiracy and robbery.
Inspector Samuel Ahiabor (prosecutor) told the court that the complainants were watching movies at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle at about 10:00pm on August 23,2019.
He said that the convicts suddenly entered the cinema hall with knives and threatened to stab the complainants if they did not handover their mobile phones and money to them.
The prosecutor said that they(convicts) succeeded in collecting the aforementioned items from the victims and went to a different spot to do their own thing.
According to Inspector Ahiabor, the victims later reported the matter to the police leading to the arrest of Mohammed Abdulai and in the course of investigation, the complainants again led the police to arrest Abass Issah from his hideout at Kofikrom near Kwame Nkrumah Circle.
He said that a separate search on them led to the recovery of the two mobile phones, a face mask, a jackknife and an amount of GH¢165.00. They all admitted the crime in their respective investigation caution statement.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
