The Kasoa Ofaakor Circuit Court has sentenced two persons who poured acid on a Mobile Money vendor at Gomoa Fetteh in the Central Region to 20 years imprisonment.
The two, Daniel Amoah and Yaw Danso were charged with conspiracy to commit crime to wit robbery and robbery.
In March 2019, the two individuals went to Kate Aidoo a Mobile Money vendor at Gomoa Fetteh and withdrew GHc10.

“They have been taken to the Nsawam Prisons,” DSP Irene Oppong added.
