A-35-year-old driver, Frimpong-Manso, who is accused of causing damage to his father's property and issuing death threats, has pleaded with an Accra Circuit Court to allow him freedom to enable him watch the impending Semi-final match to be played by Ghana's Black Stars at the on-going Africa Cup of Nations in Angola.
The accused person was arraigned before the court, presided over by Mr. C.A. Wilson, and pleaded not guilty to the charge of threat of death, and guilty with explanation to the charge of causing damage.
In his explanation, Frimpong-Manso told the judge that his father failed to honour his promise made ten years ago that he would make a replacement of a previous wardrobe already given him before requesting for its return. Frimpong-Manso was, therefore, remanded by the court to reappear on January 29, this year.
Reading the facts of the case before the court, DSP Kofi Blagodji told the court that the complainant, Mr. Owusu Frimpong, father of the accused person and his wife, being the step mother of the accused person lived in London and had come into the country for holidays.
According to the prosecutor on January 20, in Sowutuom, a suburb of Accra, the complainant had a phone call from his wife that the accused person was assaulting her, adding that on arrival the accused person threatened to kill him.
The prosecutor further indicated that on leaving the house after threatening to his father, the accused person intentionally and unlawfully destroyed the trap door to his building as well as louver blades worth GH¢500.00.
The case, the prosecutor noted, was then reported to the police and the accused person was arrested.
