A 27-year-old man has been jailed for four years for the theft of musical instruments that belonged to a church in Hohoe, situated in the Volta Region.
The Volta North Regional Police Command reported that Mohammed Rafiu was found guilty after admitting to charges of unlawful entry and theft.
As stated in a police press release dated June 9, 2026, the incident took place on June 5 when Rafiu was seen near the Faith International Ministry Church, carrying a sack filled with various items while trying to flag down a vehicle.
Witnesses reportedly grew suspicious of his behaviour and approached him to examine the contents of the sack.
The inspection uncovered several items owned by the church, including an amplifier, an equaliser, a mixer, and a crossover machine.
The police indicated that the suspect was later apprehended and taken to the Hohoe Police District, where he confessed to the crimes during the investigation.
Mohammed Rafiu was brought before the Hohoe Circuit Court on Monday, June 8, 2026, where he pleaded guilty to two charges.
The court found him guilty and sentenced him to three years in prison for unlawful entry and four years for theft.
The sentences are to be served concurrently, which means he will spend a maximum of four years in prison.
