On February 22, 2024, a 30-year-old artiste, Prince Botwe, was found guilty of robbing a woman of her Hyundai Elantra at the Accra-Tema Motorway in Accra, according to prosecutors who reported the incident to the Achimota Circuit Court. The court sentenced Botwe to 18 years of hard labor imprisonment. The Hyundai Elantra, valued at GH¢160,000 belonged to the victim, Ann Muzumilla Anabah, an entrepreneur residing at Spintex in Accra.
Botwe approached the woman who was driving the car, signaled her a problem with her tyre, and convinced her to stop. He then forced himself into the car and threatened her with a knife and scissors, causing injuries to her hand and back. The woman struggled to call for help while Botwe fled. He was eventually arrested and charged with robbery under Section 149 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960.
