A 19–year–old unemployed man has been sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment by the Asante Abuakwa Circuit Court in the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality for causing harm at Nketia near Abuakwa.
In the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality, a 19-year-old unemployed man named Aaron Atta has been sentenced to 18 months in prison. Atta faced a charge of causing harm, though he initially pleaded not guilty. The court proceedings took place at the Asante Abuakwa Circuit Court.
The victim of the incident, Owusu Boakye Yiadom, is a Disk Jockey living in Nketia. Atta resided in Adankwame at the time of the incident. On December 02, 2025, around 11:30 AM, Yiadom was commuting to work when he heard an unusual noise coming from his house. Upon investigating, he discovered Atta attempting to escape from the ceiling. Yiadom apprehended Atta, attempting to arrest him, but the latter stabbed Yiomu on his shoulder and left side of his stomach, then fled the scene.
Yiadom, bleeding profusely, pursued Atta and, with assistance from nearby individuals, managed to apprehend him. Atta was subsequently handed over to the Asuofua police. In his statement, Yiadom admitted to the offense. Following further investigations, he was charged and brought before the Asante Abuakwa Circuit Court for trial. Despite his injuries, Yiadom was discharged from Suntreso Government Hospital and later transferred to Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) for treatment.
