The court, presided over by Mrs Ama Adomako Kwakye (Magistrate), convicted the accused after he changed his not guilty plea to guilty.

Nana Osei Bonsu Hoahi and one Akwesi Asare alias Osofo Kwesi were charged for conspiracy and publication of false news against Francis Antwi, popularly known as Rev. Obofour in 2020.

While Bonsu pleaded not guilty earlier in 2020 until Tuesday, August 9, 2022, when he changed his plea, Osofo Kwesi admitted the offence in his first appearance and was convicted and fined.

They were first arraigned on June 19, 2020 but Nana Osei Bonsu Hoahi (A1) denied the offence and pleaded not guilty then.

But, Osofo Kwesi, who pleaded guilty, was convicted on his own plea of guilty and sentenced to a fine of 300 penalty units equivalent to (GHC 3,600.00) in default six months imprisonment.

I’m guilty

But, in Court on Tuesday, August 9, 2022, just when his trial was about to commence after two years, the accused, Nana Osei Bonsu Hoahi, changed his plea from not guilty to guilty simplicity.

His plea was retaken on the two counts by the court and he accordingly changed his plea to admit the offences.

The Magistrate Ama Adomako Kwakye accordingly convicted him on his own guilty plea and sentenced him to a fine of 250 and 350 penalty units equivalent to GHc3,000 and GHc4,200 respectively.

The sentences the court said should run concurrently which means he will pay the fine of only GH4,200 which is the highest of the two fines.

Should he default in the payment, the court said, he should serve a two-month custodial sentence.

The prosecutor, Chief Inspector Amoah Richard, prayed for an order from the court compelling the convict to retract the false publication made against Rev. Obofour on the Next TV and also to make publication in the Ghanaian Daily Graphic.

I don’t need his apology. I don’t know what is wrong with him but we are all family. We don’t have to be enemies. A lot of people don’t understand love. When you are with someone for many years, you don’t stop talking to the person due to one little issue that has happened between you.

Remember all the good things and avoid the one pain the person caused you. I don’t have any issues with him. It is sad for such to happen. God should help him and take him out of whatever is hurting him. There is no need to laugh at him, Lil Win said.

If you feel like you are going back in life, it can cause you to be depressed. People have no idea how that feels like. You shouldn’t think everyone loves you and that goes to the celebrities, he added.
