Akim Oda (E/R), June 7, GNA – A Magistrate's Court at Akim Oda has bonded two traders for six months to be of good behavior for insulting and assaulting a colleague.

The convicts who pleaded guilty to offensive conduct and assault would in default serve six months jail term each.

An accomplice, one Grace is on the run and the court, presided over by Mr Albert Owusu Annor, has issued a bench warrant for her arrest.
