A 36-year-old Nigerian national, Stanley Afaku, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for armed robbery at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi, Ghana.
Afaku was convicted by the Sekondi Circuit Court, presided over by Her Honour Naa Amberley Akowuah, after pleading guilty to the robbery charge.
In addition to the prison sentence, the court ordered that Afaku be deported by the Ghana Immigration Service after he completes his jail term.
Afaku’s accomplice, Samuel Nickson, also known as Egya Acquah, denied the robbery charge and was remanded in police custody. Nickson, who is already facing another robbery charge, is scheduled to return to court on June 24, 2025.
