Taxi driver bonded for stealing sheep

21st June 2009

Nsuta (ASH) GHANA

The Nsuta Circuit Court, presided over by Mr Kofi Nyantey Akuffo has bonded Yaw Afriyie, 37, a taxi driver who stole two sheep, to be of good behaviour for two years or in default spend six months in prison.

He pleaded guilty.

When the court asked the accused if he had anything to say before passing sentence, the accused knelt down and said he was awfully sorry for what he did and pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy.

Afriyie said if the court sent him to prison there would be nobody to care for his aged and blind mother and his pregnant wife.

The judge said even though the court was there to deal with all criminal cases, he would bond him to be of good behaviour because he was a first offender.

The facts of the case as presented by Police Detective Inspector Patrick Asante were that at about 0100 hours on May 30, the accused used his taxi cab with registration number GW 3546 W, to steal two stray sheep at Nkwanta Zongo in the Mampong Municipality and attempted to sell them at a butcher's house at Asante Mampong.

However, luck eluded him as police personnel on patrol duty spotted and arrested him and after investigations charged him with the offence.

Tesco pay their wages and tell them to be nice to the customers - even if they think they are a**holes.

It will be a cold day in hell when I'm jealous of a xenophobic bigot white van man.

a) Being able to afford Tescos is hardly a status symbol. Even in England.
b) Everyone thinks......
