Awutu (C/R), April 21, GNA – Mr Kofi Ahiabor, presiding over a District Magistrate’s Court at Awutu, on Monday imposed a fine of 800 Ghana Cedis on Clement Afful, driver, when the court found him guilty on two charges of dangerous driving and negligently causing harm.
The court ordered that 400 Ghana Cedis out of the fine should defray the cost of a kiosk destroyed by the driver, 200 Ghana Cedis compensation to Police Sergeant James Adabor who the convict knocked down and 200 Ghana Cedis to the state.
In default Afful, who pleaded guilty, would go to jail for two months in hard labour.
Prosecuting, Chief Police Inspector Helena Aidoo told the court that on April 5 a policeman stopped Afful for checks but he sped off, knocked down Sgt Adabor and drove into a kiosk.
