The Assin Fosu District Court presided over by His Worship Abdul Majid Iliasu, has granted bail to Esi Affumwaa, a 48-year-old Akpeteshie seller and farmer, who is accused of assaulting a customer by allegedly biting his testicle.

Affumwaa was granted bail in the sum of GH¢10,000 with two sureties, one of whom must reside within the court’s jurisdiction.

Inspector Matilda Osaah Buaben, who led the prosecution, informed the court that the incident occurred on Wednesday, February 26, 2024, at approximately 4:30 p.m. at Assin Wurakese Camp in the Assin Fosu Municipality.

According to the prosecution, the complainant Karim Osman, 36, a farmer, visited the accused’s residence to purchase a cigarette. A dispute ensued over a debt of GH¢2.40, escalating into a confrontation.

The accused allegedly struck the complainant’s head with a piece of firewood before biting his testicle, causing severe injury and profuse bleeding.

Following the incident, Osman complained to the police, leading to Affumwaa’s arrest. During interrogation, she admitted to harming the complainant.

However, in court, she pleaded guilty with an explanation, stating that she acted in self-defense after the complainant allegedly caused her to fall.

She denied biting his testicle, claiming instead that she squeezed it during the altercation.
