The Enchi District Magistrate court has ordered a 50-year-old labourer, Kwasi Jonathan, to sign a bond of good behavior covering a period of seven months, for stealing a cock worth 50 Ghana cedis.<\/p>\n
He pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing.<\/p>\n
Prosecuting, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Ebenezer Anim Ofori, told the court presided over by Mr Solomon Kwesi Alormatu that the complainant Michael Atilaad is a farmer who resides in the same neighborhood with the convict at Sefwi Karlo near Dadiaso in the Suaman District.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”JNybsBsE3DzKsEidSZynnSPPmWHxrNK6″]He said the complainant has a cottage in his cocoa farm at Sefwi Karlo where he rears fowls.<\/p>\n
According to ASP Anim Ofori, the complainant visits his cottage frequently during the cocoa season, but when harvesting is over he goes there twice a week.<\/p>\n
He said in the month of December 2017, the complainant realized his fowls were disappearing and began his own investigations.<\/p>\n
The prosecution said on March 3, 2018, the complainant\u2019s sons, Musah Yakubu went to their father\u2019s cocoa farm to search for snails.<\/p>\n
While they were there, Musah and George saw that someone had made a fire at the cottage and when the two got closer they found out that the convict had stolen their father\u2019s cock and was preparing soup with it.<\/p>\n
They nabbed Jonathan and handed him over to the Dadieso police.<\/p>\n
ASP Anim said when the convict was interrogated at the police station he admitted committing the offence in his investigation caution statement.<\/p>\n
