The Wa Circuit Court has sentenced a 20-year-old man, Nawaf Abdulai, to 15 years imprisonment for his involvement in a series of motorbike robberies in the Upper West Region.
According to a police statement, the suspect, together with an accomplice, Awal Abass—who is currently at large—robbed two victims of their Haojue and Luojia motorbikes bearing registration numbers M-21-449 UW and M-17-4607 UW, respectively. The robbery occurred on March 6, 2025.
In a swift response, the Upper West Regional Police Command arrested Nawaf Abdulai at his residence on March 8, 2025. During interrogation, Abdulai admitted to the crime. The case was subsequently prosecuted in court.
Delivering judgment on April 7, 2025, His Lordship Jonathan Avoogo of the Wa Circuit Court sentenced Abdulai to 15 years in prison. The court’s ruling is expected to serve as a strong warning to others who may consider engaging in criminal acts.
The Upper West Regional Police Command praised its officers for their quick action and professionalism, and also expressed appreciation to members of the public who supported the investigation.
“The Command will continue to work tirelessly to ensure the safety and security of our communities,” the statement added.
The police also disclosed that the image of Nawaf Abdulai has been published because he has been duly convicted by the court.
Meanwhile, efforts are ongoing to apprehend the second suspect, Awal Abass.
