Accra, Oct. 17, GNA – An Agona Nkwanta District Court has sentenced a 30-year-old farmer to three months’ imprisonment with hard labour for assaulting his wife.
Emmanuel Kwofie pleaded guilty to the offence and was convicted on his own plea by the court.
The court, presided over by Mr Kuma Selorm Dzata, heard that Kwofie was arrested on October 12, 2026, and arraigned on October 14, 2026.
Police investigations established that the convict and the victim, Diana Mensah, 25, a second-hand clothing trader, are married and live at Domeabra in the Agona Nkwanta Municipality.
The prosecution said that on October 8, 2026, Kwofie accused his wife of infidelity and physically assaulted her.
The assault was captured in a video that later circulated on social media.
The Agona Nkwanta District Police Command subsequently arrested Kwofie after receiving the video.
He was charged with assault, pleaded guilty and was sentenced accordingly.
