Aflao, Jan. 31, -Abubakari
Mohammed,32, a Fulani herdsman has been sentenced to seven years in prison by
an Aflao Circuit Court for robbery.
Mohammed who claimed to be based
at Ashaiman in the Grerater Accra Region was sentenced on his own plea of
attempted robbery.
His accomplice, named only as
Jafah, also a Fulani herdsman was said to be on the run.
Prosecuting, Police Chief Inspector
Seth Appau, told the Aflao court presided over by Mr. Ali Baba Abature, that
Mohammed and Jafah both from Ashiaman visited Aflao apparently to mark the last
New Year eve.
He said about 2200 hours on
December 30, Mohammed and Jafah offered a 5000 CFA note in payment for some
beverages bought at a bar at Tokor-Aflao, but the attendant demanded payment in
Ghana Cedi notes.
Mr. Appau said the two went out
under the pretence of changing the notes into Ghana Cedi, but returned shortly,
only to pull a gun on the attendant, and robbed her.
Mr. Appau said the victim raised
alarm, prompting some locals who were celebrating nearby who then chased the
two and arrested Mohammed but his accomplice, Jafah succeeded in bolting away
with the gun.
