Politicians are robbing us blind. Judges are taking bribes to adjudicate cases and this "poor" thief gets 15 years? Wow!!
As a first time offender, this is sentence is pure insanity and reckless. as a judge, you cant let true criminals walk away and turn around to pile their sentences on petty thieves. Is this justice?
armed robbers are not petty thieves.
No form of Armed Robbery is a petty crime. The accused could have murdered the complainant if he had resisted. It serves him right.
his not a thief am very sure of that it was a set up by the informant who stole his phone
AS a Nigerian he need more than 15yrs.
you care so much that he is a Nigerian, and you think he should be given more years for phone theft.
apparently too, your train of thought is careless.

Buobaba, the sentence was on stealing assault and armed robbery. What do armed robbers usually do to their victims with their guns, cutlasses etc? Don't they kill the men sometimes and also rape the women? It serves him right ...

15 years is not bad considering the fact that he was armed .It's a good lesson for future armed robbers
Nigerian go to your country we dnt need you guys in Ghana
anyone who confuse the difference of theft and robbery is really confused.
The victim wasn't injured and the mobile was given back. the criminal is just a student, 15 years is too harsh for him, it will destroy his future!!!
15 years imprisonment which will ruin the student's future is too harsh because nobody injured and the mobile was given back!
i can not agree more. ????
ghana must refrom the law ministers get 4years and a student get 15years why oo noo
i was at d scene when the incident occured that guy is not guilty as he said some stones are being left unturned. D informant who reported 2d police should be interogated he knows d truth.
