The Asokore-Mampong District Court in the Asokore-Mampong Municipality of the Ashanti Region has fined a father and his son GH¢2,400 each for stealing a fowl, damaging a mobile phone, and assaulting the owner of the fowl.
Kingsley Kofi Kumi, 54, and his 20-year-old son, Kingsley Abeka, a trader, pleaded not guilty to charges of causing unlawful damage, assault, and stealing. However, they were convicted after a full trial. They were also ordered to compensate the complainant, Jennifer Sarpong, with GH¢2,000 and will serve two months imprisonment each if the fine is not paid.
Police Chief Inspector David Opoku Kwabi, presenting the facts of the case, stated that the complainant shared a common fence wall with the convicts at Buokrom Limex Quarry, near Asokore-Mampong. On March 25, 2024, Kingsley Kofi Kumi allegedly went to the complainant’s drinking spot, claiming his son had slaughtered her fowl and that she should collect it from their house. The complainant demanded payment of GH¢70 for the fowl, which led to a quarrel.
The prosecution explained that when the complainant attempted to record the incident on her phone, the father allegedly snatched the phone, valued at GH¢2,500, smashed it on the ground, and stepped on it. He then reportedly dragged her into a gutter, held her braided hair, and together with his son, assaulted her. Bystanders intervened, and a report was made to the Buokrom police, resulting in their arrest.
In their caution statements, both accused denied stealing, assaulting, and causing damage, claiming that the complainant’s mobile phone fell into the gutter and was damaged while she attempted to record videos.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
