  "account": "Emmanuel Kofi Mensah, a 22-year-old motor mechanic and Bolt driver, has been sentenced to 25 years in hard labor for robbing a beautician named Yvonne Dzane Dzifa. The case came to light after Dzifa hired Mensah to drive her from Madina Zongo Junction to Adenta. Upon arriving at the Adenta Barrier, Dzifa asked Mensah to stop, but he allegedly ignored her request, locked the vehicle's doors, and continued towards the road. When Dzifa resisted, Mensah pulled out a cutlass and attacked her, slashing her wrist and little finger while stealing her belongings, including two iPhones, cash, and personal items. Mensah allegedly called an accomplice on a motorbike, who failed to apprehend Dzifa, who managed to flee into a nearby bush. The victim later sought refuge at a neighbor's house and reported the incident to the police the following morning. Mensah turned himself in on September 24 and confessed to the robbery. The cutlass used in the attack was found in his possession. The prosecutor is working to identify and apprehend the accomplices involved in the crime.",
