Fofana is accused of orchestrating an armed robbery of Wera Farm on March 4 that led to the sequestering of François Wera and saw a significant amount of money and firearms stolen. Fofana faces charges of armed robbery with an illegal weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery, extortion through the use of a firearm, sequestering, breaking and entering with the use of a firearm, unauthorized possession of a prohibited firearm, and assault causing injury.
