The Kumasi High Court has sentenced notorious criminal Dominic Afriyie to 120 years imprisonment for armed robbery and life for murder.

Justice Abdul Razak delivered the verdict after a jury trial, convicting the 36-year-old of killing pharmacist Michael Dela Agbo Klu during a 2021 home invasion.

Police records show Afriyie, alias “GH,” robbed the Atasemanso residence on November 20, 2021, stealing cash and electronics before shooting Klu. A subsequent police operation on December 31 intercepted Afriyie’s gang with four firearms in their vehicle. Though initially pleading innocent, forensic evidence secured his conviction.

The sentencing marks a significant victory for Kumasi law enforcement amid rising violent crime. Court officials confirmed the punishment reflects the gravity of offenses involving deadly weapons.
