Rastafarian Jailed 25 Years For Robbery


Twenty-eight year old Abdul Sadat Iddi on Monday wept uncontrollably at an Accra Circuit Court after he was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment for robbing a banker at gun point at Baatsona in Accra.

Iddi, whilst being escorted by the Police to begin his prison term amidst weeping, pleaded with the trial judge Mr Aboagye Tandoh to have mercy on him.

“My Lord I beg you, My Lord please have mercy on me. Oh mother, please intervene,” he cried aloud in Ga, whiles his mother and other relations looked on helplessly.

The police had a hectic time escorting him from the Court, which was on a story building to the ground floor as he called on his relatives to intervene.

 Iddi, who was charged with conspiracy to commit crime and robbery, pleaded not guilty.
The Court, however, at the end of the trial discharged him on the conspiracy charge and convicted on the robbery charge.

Iddi and others now at large were said to have robbed Samuel Romulus Okine on the dawn of December 7, last year of his two HP Laptop computers, an Ipad with surf line Wi-Fi, two digital camera, and cash of GHC80 cedis, 300 dollars and 200 Euros.


He said on December 7, last year, at about 0200 hour, whilst the complainant was in bed, he was attacked and held hostage by three men armed with pistols and a pump action gun
