The Ho Circuit Court has jailed three armed robbers for 19 years. The three whose names are given as Mercy Sokpe, Atsu Kamasa, and Godfred Dzidonu were incarcerated for stealing an iPhone 6s.
A statement announcing the incarceration said the victim, Elijah Togbedzi, was approached by Mercy Sokpe, who wanted to use his phone to take a selfie.
Elijah obliged and gave the phone to Sokpe, who, in the process of taking the selfie, signalled her colleagues, who attacked Elijah with scissors and took away his iPhone 6s.
Police investigation led to the arrest of the armed robbers at their hideout in Ho.
They were charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit robbery, which they pleaded guilty to.
They were sentenced to three years each on the charge of conspiracy to commit robbery, while Kamasa and Godfred were sentenced to five years each for robbery.
