Notorious robber busted in Kumasi

A dangerous robber, who inflicts knife wounds on his victims without provocation, has finally been nabbed after many months of hiding.

Richard Kwame Adjei, 24, on November 10, 2015, inflicted knife wounds on one Stephanie, after which he robbed the lady and fled.

The suspect, who the police in Kumasi described as very dangerous and wicked, had since managed to elude arrest to face the law. But he finally ran out of luck as he was apprehended by the police when his attempt to rob another person some days ago, hit the rocks.

It was at the police station that Stephanie identified Kwame Adjei as her attacker, ASP Mohammed Yussif Tanko, the Ashanti Regional Police PRO, said.

He said Kwame Adjei’s brutal attack on Stephanie was swift so by the time people got wind of the attack, the suspect had vanished into thin air.

ASP Tanko indicated that Stephanie reported the case to the police and was issued with a medical form to seek prompt medical attention. He said police made all attempts to locate Kwame Adjei and arrest him but the whereabouts of the suspect always remained a mystery.

ASP Tanko disclosed that just recently, Kwame Adjei popped up at Labour Roundabout in Kumasi where his attempt to rob another person failed.

He said Kwame Adjei was arrested and hauled to the police station to face the full rigours of the law.
