A 25-year-old Level 200 student of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has been jailed 10 years by the Asante Akropong circuit court in the Atwima Nwabiagya North District, for robbing a hairdresser at Abuakwa. 

Fatawu Amponsah, who is also a driver’s mate, pleaded guilty and was convicted on his own plea, by the court presided by Gloria Mensah Bonsu. 

Police Detective Inspector Alexander Agbekpornu prosecuting, told the court that, Juliet Nyarko, the victim, was a hairdresser apprentice at Abuakwa-Asenemaso, while Fatawu, resided at SDA junction, also in the area. 

He said on June 16, this year, at about 0230 hours, the victim was returning home from Abuakwa township, and the convict trailed her to a section of the road and demanded her iphone 11 mobile phone, valued at GHc 3,000.00. 

Prosecution said the victim refused and the convict pulled out a kitchen knife, subjected her to severe beatings until she became weak and pushed her unto the ground, took the mobile phone and bolted, leaving the victim screaming. 

According to the Prosecution, some community members who heard the scream rushed to the scene, chased and later arrested the convict and handed him over to the Abuakwa police. 

In his caution statement, Fatawu admitted the offence  and after further investigations he was charged and brought before the court.
