Toase (Ash) April 08, GNA – A 23-year-old motorist has been remanded into prison custody by the Toase District court in the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality of the Ashanti region over three charges.
Kwame Ebenezer was charged for negligently causing harm, driving without license and insurance.
His plea was not taken and would be brought back to the court on April 21, 2026, as the Police awaits a testing officer’s report.
Police Inspector Kwaku Frimpong, prosecuting told the court presided by Mr. Robert Addo that Ebenezer committed the offences on November 08, 2025, at Manso-Tetrem.
He said, at about 17:00 hours that day, Ebenezer was riding an unregistered Haogin motorcycle and knocked down Richlove Adugyamfi, a four-year-old girl, who was crossing the road at that time.
The victim sustained serious injuries and was rushed to the Nkawie- Toase government Hospital but was transferred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi, where she died the next day on admission.
A report was made to the Nkawie Police, and he was arrested and granted Police enquiry bail, but he jumped bail and went into hiding till April 06, 2026, when he was rearrested.
After further investigations he was charged and brought before the court.
