A District Magistrate court at Enchi, presided over by Mr Eric Baah Boateng, has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of a farmer, one Emmanuel Amo, 22 from Nkwanta No.1 in the Aowin Municipality for failing to appear before it.
The accused whose plea has not been taken was charged with threat of harm, unlawful entry and stealing and has been granted police enquiry bail in the sum of GH¢3,000.00 with one surety to re-appear on 22nd June, 2020 but failed.
The case has subsequently been deferred to Thursday July 2.
Police Detective Inspector Joseph Kwadwo Agyare told the court that, Boadi Abraham, the complainant is a farmer at Adwusa a cottage near Kramokrom whiles the accused was his step son.
He said on May 31, 2020, at about 0830 hours, the accused armed with a cutlass went to the complainant's cottage and met one Margaret Ackah a witness in the case who informed him that the complainant had gone to town.
