A 25-year-old self-acclaimed small-scale miner, Kwame Ato Asare, has been remanded in custody by the Tarkwa Circuit Court for his alleged involvement in a series of robberies at mining sites in the Western Region. Asare, who appeared before Her Honour Bernice Mensimah Akoh, faces 11 counts, including conspiracy to commit robbery and robbery, under the Criminal Offences Act.
The prosecution claims Asare acted with 14 other individuals, including four identified accomplices, who allegedly attacked workers and private security personnel at Kadadwen Ashieba on September 6, 2025. The victims were robbed of 15 mobile phones and cash, valued at GH¢14,020. The court heard that Asare threatened the victims, struck one with a bar cutlass, and forced others to slap themselves during the attack.
Asare was arrested on September 13, 2026, at a hotel in Kadadwen, wearing the same red jalabia and talisman he allegedly wore during the earlier attack. The prosecution is continuing its investigation.
