He, however, failed to pay his workers SSNIT contribution from January 2020 to August 2020 amounting to GHc 422.12 despite efforts made to get him to pay same.

A bench warrant was issued for his arrest but the accused allegedly resisted and incited some youth to attack the arresting officer – Lance Corporal Nuhu and the Prosecuting officer Isaac Nana Yaw Mbatini.

He was later arrested and put before the court and was remanded to reappear on April 26, 2021.
