The man Kombian

Kombian, alias Garkum, was arrested, tried and sentenced to seven years in prison by the Tamale Circuit Court, but he escaped while serving his jail term.

He later fled to his hometown, Nakpanduri in the Bunkprugu Yunyoo District of the Northern Region, where he sought refuge.

However, on November 19, 2010, he was re-arrested through the efforts of INTERPOL, when he crossed the border at Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo District to visit his girlfriend.

He was on August 19, 2015, sentenced to death by hanging on two counts of murder, after a seven-member jury returned a guilty verdict.

He is also serving a 30-year jail term on the charge of conspiracy.
