Eight men have been convicted and sentenced by the Accra Circuit Court for their roles in violent disturbances during the Ablekuma North by-election.
The convicts, Mohammed Abubakari, Tijani Mahmudu, Prince Dzakpasu, Anas Mohammed, Mohammed Hamda, Darko Otibu Samuel, Musah Muntari, and Ali Saeed (alias Bomba) pleaded guilty to conspiracy and assault charges.
The incident occurred at the Methodist Church Polling Station, where victims including former Minister Mavis Hawa Koomson, trader Majeed Mohammed Saana, and NPP Deputy Organiser Chris Lloyd Nii Kwei were attacked while monitoring the election.
Presiding Judge Isaac Addo fined each man 500 penalty units (GH¢6,000) or imposed a 24-month prison sentence in default.
The case, which began on August 26, was fast-tracked following the guilty pleas and concluded on Friday, August 29, 2025.
