A Tarkwa Circuit Court judge has sentenced a 32-year-old electrician named Mohammed Ibrahim, also known as Ahmed, to four years in prison for burglary and theft. The charges against him include stealing gold concentrate worth GH¢100,000 and cash amounting to GH¢20,000 from a licensed gold buyer's shop in Wassa Akropong, Western Region, on May 20, 2026.
Ibrahim was also charged with possession of an instrument intended for unlawful entry, but he pleaded not guilty to this particular charge. His accomplice, Karikari, known as KK, remains at large. The court was presided over by Ms. Victoria Vera Akonu. Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Samuel Ahiabor represented the prosecution, and he withdrew the charge of possession of an instrument intended for unlawful entry following Ibrahim's guilty plea to the other charges.
CCTV cameras installed near the shop captured the duo in the act of breaking into the shop and stealing the gold and cash. Ibrahim and Karikari were reportedly friends and residents of Wassa Akropong. Upon arrest, Ibrahim was found to have a hammer at his hideout in Wassa Japa.
