A 28-year-old head porter, Kennedy Dadzie, has been granted GH¢50,000 bail with two sureties by the Amasaman Circuit Court for allegedly stabbing a driver.
The court, presided over by Enid Marful-Sau, ordered that Dadzie’s sureties provide valid national identity cards to the court’s registry.
Dadzie pleaded not guilty to stabbing Kofi Owusu in the arm and was directed to reappear before the court on April 22, 2025.
Police Chief Inspector Salifu Nashiru told the court that both the complainant, Owusu, a driver, and the accused, Dadzie, a head porter, reside in Treba.
He explained that in July 2024, Owusu noticed his Samsung A13 phone was missing. Upon questioning his wife, she allegedly mentioned seeing Dadzie smoking behind their building at midnight.
Owusu confronted Dadzie and warned him to stay away from the back of his house. This reportedly angered Dadzie, leading to threats.
According to Chief Inspector Nashiru, on August 5, 2024, while Owusu and one Kwame were at a park in Treba, Dadzie allegedly passed by and threatened them.
A heated argument ensued, during which Dadzie reportedly pulled a jackknife and attempted to stab Kwame. Owusu then chased him with a stick, causing Dadzie to flee.
Shortly after, while Owusu was heading home, Dadzie allegedly emerged and stabbed him in the left arm before escaping.
Following a tip-off, Dadzie was arrested on March 10, 2025. During interrogation, he reportedly admitted to the offence and was subsequently arraigned.
