The Awutu Breku District Court has sentenced Emmanuel Agbeshie to eight months imprisonment for assaulting a teacher, claiming the teacher caused his penis to disappear.

Agbeshie, a 22-year-old apprentice, pleaded guilty to charges including assault, causing harm, publication of false news, and deceit of a public officer.

The court, presided over by Mrs. Naomi A. A. Kuntour, sentenced Agbeshie to a fine of GHC 2,400 for assault, with a default sentence of four months' imprisonment.

He was also sentenced to eight months' imprisonment for causing harm. Additionally, he was fined GHC 1,200 for each charge of publication of false news and deceit of a public officer, with a default sentence of three months' imprisonment for each charge. All sentences are to run concurrently.

Agbeshie was ordered to sign a 12-month bond to be of good behavior upon release from prison. He was further directed to pay all medical bills for the victim, Mr. Charles Bimpong Appiah, and compensate him with GHC 4,800.

Prosecution, led by Assistant Superintendent of Police and Chief Inspector Bernice Wei Kpuusuu, stated that the incident occurred when Agbeshie accused Mr. Appiah of touching him, claiming it caused his penis to disappear.

Agbeshie then assaulted Mr. Appiah, leading to his arrest by police personnel from the Central East Command Legal Department, who were conducting a sensitization tour in the area.

Mr. Appiah was taken to the hospital for treatment, where it was confirmed that Agbeshie's penis was intact.
