Identical twins jailed 48 months each for stealing motorbike valued GH¢13,000 in Bibiani

The Bibiani District Court has sentenced identical twins to 48 months’ imprisonment each for dishonestly appropriating an unregistered motorbike valued at GH¢13,000.

The convicted persons, Seth Frimpong alias Atta Payin, a welder, and Emmanuel Frimpong alias Atta Kakra, an excavator operator, stole the motorbike on 16 June 2025 at Adiembra near Chirano in the Western North Region.

Charged with conspiracy to commit crime and stealing, they pleaded guilty with an explanation and asked for leniency, citing a partial refund of GH¢3,440 and lack of support.

Presiding Judge Mr. Lord Delvin Essandoh imposed enhanced sentences of 48 months each on both charges, to run concurrently.

In a unique ruling, the Judge ordered that the twins serve their sentences separately—Seth at Obuasi Prisons and Emmanuel at Kumasi Central Prison—stating they would not be rewarded with the company of each other during their term of reformation.

“Historically with respect to twins, Romulus and Remus were twins known for the founding of the City of Rome and by extension the Roman Kingdom albeit marred by the slaying of Remus by Romulus.

“Here before this court are identical twins who have chosen to be known by their criminal deeds…. This court would have preferred that even though they came into this world together, it does not mean they had to fulfil the same destiny and engage in criminality together,” he said.

The court also ordered the release of the recovered motorbike to the complainant, Daniel Fosu.

According to the prosecution, led by Chief Inspector B.O. Agyemang, the incident occurred after Mr. Fosu parked his unregistered Haojin motorbike at home on the night of June 15, 2025.

He discovered it was missing at around 0400 hours the following morning.

A witness, Samuel Akurugu Manzan, was seen leaving the area on a tricycle and was apprehended by residents.

He later told police the twins had hired him under the pretext of visiting relatives but instead stole the motorbike.

Investigations led police to a mechanic in Bibiabi, where the motorbike was eventually recovered on 30 June 2025, verified by matching chassis numbers.

On 4 July 2025, the twins were arrested at the Kwamekrom Police Checkpoint aboard a Kumasi–Diaso-bound vehicle.

During interrogation, they admitted to the offence, with Emmanuel confessing to riding the motorbike to Bibiani and handing it over to a man named Chairman at Lineso to sell.

The bike was sold for GH¢4,000, and the proceeds were given to the accused.

Police records also revealed the twins are repeat offenders, with previous sentences of 24 and 3 months, including one incident of escape from police custody.
