‘Man arrested for having too many wives’ is the front page banner of the paper which reports that Mr James Kwaku Boafo, a businessman in Kumasi, who after wedding one Grace Konadu, turned round to marry two other women in the customary way without divorcing the first wife, is now in the grips of the police. The story stays that after marrying Grace, with whom he has two children, the couple left for Germany where they stayed for eight years acquiring lots of property. On their return, Grace, who is the complainant claims that James asked her to stop her Christian religion and join him in the worship of idols. When she refused, James moved out of their matrimonial home to leave with one Naana whom he married in the traditional way. He later met Adwoa Achiaa whom he also married through the same process. Grace reported the matter to the police who arrested James for breaching section 262 of the criminal code, since he had not dissolved his first marriage.
In another story the paper reports that Joe Borquaye, a 26- year old unemployed who raped and impregnated a school going girl, butchered the father of the girl for daring to question him on the matter. Now an Accra circuit court has remanded the bloody- minded Joe in custody after pleading guilty to a charge of causing harm, the paper said.
