A Kumasi High Court has convicted and sentenced Dominic Afriyie, a 36-year-old notorious armed robber, to 120 years’ imprisonment with hard labor for two counts of robbery and life imprisonment for murder. The sentence was handed down by Justice Abdul Razak on May 15, 2025.
Afriyie was found guilty of attacking the residence of Michael Dela Ago Klu, a pharmacist and building contractor, at Atasemanso, Kumasi, on November 20, 2021. During the robbery, Afriyie stole two mobile phones, a laptop, and GHC 1,500 in cash, and tragically shot and killed Klu.
The convict was arrested on December 31, 2021, along with three others, after police received intelligence about a planned robbery in the area. A search of their vehicle led to the recovery of firearms. After a full trial, Afriyie was found guilty by the court and sentenced accordingly.
