A 22-year-old fisherman who stabbed a man on the left arm, back and head during traditional rites at Teshie in Accra has been sentenced to three months’ imprisonment.
Godwin Tetteh, charged with causing harm, pleaded guilty when he appeared before an Accra Circuit Court.
The court convicted him on his plea and sentenced him accordingly.
Chief Inspector Wisdom Alorwu, who led the prosecution, said the complainant, Christopher Tetteh, was a driver and a resident of Teshie, as was the convict.
He said on June 12, at about 19:00 hours, the complainant went to pray at a mosque and, while returning home, the convict saw him and asked him to stop.
The prosecutor said the convict questioned the complainant about why traditional rites had been performed for his daughter to become a priestess without his consent.
The complainant reportedly responded that if the convict was a good father, he would have known about his daughter’s traditional rites.
This infuriated the convict, who allegedly punched the complainant twice in the mouth.
The prosecution said the convict then pulled out a pair of scissors and stabbed the complainant in the left arm, back and head, causing injuries.
It said when the convict attempted to flee, the complainant smashed him in the mouth, after which he took to his heels.
The complainant subsequently went to the Police station to report and, while there, the convict was brought to the station in connection with another offence, where the complainant identified him.
A Police medical form was issued to the complainant to seek treatment at the hospital.
The prosecution said the convict admitted the offence in his caution statement. –GNA

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.
