A 20-year-old driver, who threatened to kill
two policemen at Afari, near Nkawie in the Atwima-Mwabiagya South municipality,
has been sentenced to one year jail term by the Nkawie Circuit Court.
Kwame Frimpong, alias “Danger” is said
to have threatened to kill the Nkawie District Police Commander and a community
police personnel at Afari, if they continued to pursue and arrest him for
various offences committed.
He pleaded not guilty, but was jailed by the court
presided by Mr Michael Johnson Abbey.
Police Inspector Ruth Gborson told the court
that the convict, who was involved in several cases had bolted and
announcements were made at information centres at Afari and its environs for
the people to volunteer information for his arrest.
He said the convict threatened to kill the District
Police Commander and the community police personnel if they continued to pursue
him, and went into hiding at Nkasaeim, near Goaso, in the Ahafo Region.
The police arrested him upon a tip-off and
brought him before the court. – GNA
