A 33-year-old physically challenged person at Nkankama, near Begoro, Tetteh Akweitey has been sentenced to six months imprisonment in hard labour by the Begoro District court for stealing two goats.
He pleaded guilty to the charge.

He said when the Unit Committee members confronted the accused, he admitted the offence and led the Committee members to the bush to where he had kept the goats.
He together with the goats was sent back to the village where the owners identified and collected their goats.
