Dominic Afriyie, a 36-year-old notorious armed robber from Kumasi, has been sentenced to 120 years in prison with hard labor for two counts of armed robbery, and life imprisonment for murder. Known in criminal circles as GH, his conviction marks the end of a long legal battle following his arrest for the violent robbery and murder of Mr. Michael Dela Agbo Klu in Atasemanso, Kumasi, on November 20, 2021.
The details of the crime are chilling. GH and his accomplices stormed Mr. Klu’s residence, making off with two mobile phones, an ASUS Zenbook laptop, and GH¢1,500 in cash. The situation escalated tragically when GH shot and killed Mr. Klu, leaving his family and the community in shock and mourning.
His reign of terror came to an end on December 31, 2021, when he was apprehended during another attempted robbery in the Atasemanso area. The arrest, which occurred around 2:20 am, involved three other individuals and signaled a significant victory for local law enforcement. This conviction sends a clear message: such acts of violence and robbery will be met with the full force of the law.
