Two persons jailed 10 years each in landmark robbery case

Collins Asabire and Ephraim Atsu were sentenced 10
years each for the involvement in a robbery case

A Ho Circuit Court presided over by His Lordship,
Felix Datsomor has sentenced two persons to
10-years each of imprisonment for their
involvement in a robbery case that traveled for
more than two years.

The two, Collins Asabire, a driver for Lovemark
company Ltd. and Ephraim Atsu, an agent for the
same company were convicted on two counts of
abetment of robbery and facilitating a robbery
incident contrary to sections 20 (1) and 149(1) of
the Criminal and Other offences Act 29, 1960 as
amended.

Hearing the case, prosecution led by Chief Supt.
Akologo Yakubu Ayamga told the court that on July
9th 2018, three persons including Fafali Fumey
(driver), Edem Siati (electrician) and Felix Dufe
(evangelist) intercepted a distribution van
belonging to Lovemark company Ltd. at Dzolokpuita
in the Ho West district and robbed the occupant of
an amount of GH¢20,198.50.

Presenting the facts, Chief Supt. Ayamga said, the
complainant is Mawuli Asempa, an employee and
salesman of Lovemark Company in Ho, which trades
in general goods. The convicts, Collins Asabire is
a driver of the company in charge of the
distribution bus while Ephraim Atsu is a fan milk
dealer with the company.

He said, the work of the complainant is to be
driven round in the bus by Collins for mobile
sales.

The Court heard that, prior to the robbery
incident, Collins and Ephraim contacted Michael to
aid them to rob the complainant.

Michael, in turn, connected the convicts to Fafali
Fumey, Edem Siati and Felix Dufe but before
undertaking the operation the trio informed the
police and requested for police assistance and
surveillance.

The police feigned interest and in support,
provided a taxi cab for the operation. And at
about 8:30pm on that faithful day, the trio under
police surveillance trailed the bus which was
returning from Hohoe to Ho and robbed the
occupants of the said amount.

Both convicts; Collins Asabire (driver of the
distribution van) and Ephraim continued to provide
information to the operation team until the
attack.

Collins, however, pretentiously absconded from the
robbery scene while shouting “armed robbers,
armed robbers”.

The supposed robbers forcibly took the
complainant’s bag containing the money, his
mobile phone and sales book and then drove away.

Right after the operation, they drove to the
police station to hand over the booties and
themselves.

Collins and Ephraim were later arrested and
charged for the offences before the court.

The Court in pronouncing judgement on 22nd
February 2021 acquitted and discharged Fafali
Fumey, Edem Siati and Felix Dufe for no wrongdoing
while Collins and Ephraim were both sentenced to
10-years each of imprisonment.

The Volta regional police command is urging the
public especially persons who deal with huge sums
of money to be mindful of their employees.
