Before Auntie Georgina could answer, Nana Abrefa Nketia pulled a belt and subjected Aaron Adu Boateng, who was standing there, to severe beatings.
According to the prosecutor, after beating Aaron Adu Boateng, Nana Abrefa Nketia, Nana Owusu Ansah and Nana Achiaa Drowaa pounced on one Ama Agyeiwaa and subjected her to equally severe beatings. The case was reported to the Wenchi police and the two were given hospital forms to go for treatment.
The case was brought before Emmanuel Opare but on the day of ruling Nana Owusu Ansah and the two others failed to come to court and a bench warrant was issued to arrest them. When they appeared before Mr Opare on Thursday, August 13, 2015, the circuit court judge slapped six months’ imprisonment on Nana Owusu Ansah and nine months on Nana Abrefa Nketia.
In the case of Nana Achiaa Drowaa, she was fined GH¢1,200 or in default six months’ imprisonment.
