Nkawie (Ash), Aug.
20, GNA – A 43-year-old man who was brought before the Nkawie Circuit Court for
stealing a pig valued at GH¢600.00, shocked the presiding judge and the
audience, when he revealed that he used just two days to consume all the
carcass of the animal alone.

Frank Sarkodie was
said to have stolen the animal from its owner at Abodwese, a farming village
near Manfo in the Ahafo Ano North Municipality, killed and consumed everything
alone within two days.

He pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment on his own plea.

Police Inspector
Jonas Newlove Agyei told the Court presided over by Mr Michael Johnson Abbey,
that there had been rampant stealing of the complainant’s livestock and
foodstuffs.

He said on August 13
this year, the complainant detected the theft of one of his pigs and while
searching for it, a witness in the case alerted him that he saw Sarkodie
carrying the animal away.

The complainant made
a report to the Manfo police who arrested him.

Inspector Agyei said
the convict admitted the offence in the presence of the witness and was
therefore charged and brought before the Court.
