A 48-year-old Akpeteshie seller and farmer, Esi Affumwaa, has been granted bail after allegedly assaulting a customer by biting his testicle.
The Assin Fosu District Court, presided over by His Worship Abdul Majid Iliasu, granted her GH¢10,000 bail with two sureties, one of whom must reside within the court’s jurisdiction.
According to the prosecution, led by Inspector Matilda Osaah Buaben, the incident occurred on February 26, 2024, at Assin Wurakese Camp.
The complainant, 36-year-old farmer Karim Osman, had visited Affumwaa’s residence to buy a cigarette when an argument erupted over a GH¢2.40 debt.
The altercation allegedly escalated when Affumwaa struck Osman’s head with firewood and then bit his testicle, causing severe injury and excessive bleeding.
Osman later reported the incident to the police, leading to Affumwaa’s arrest.
During interrogation, she admitted to attacking him but denied biting his testicle.
Instead, she claimed she only squeezed it in self-defense after he allegedly caused her to fall.
In court, Affumwaa pleaded guilty with an explanation, maintaining that her actions were a reaction to Osman’s aggression.
The case has been adjourned for further proceedings.
