A Bibiani circuit court has sentenced a 40-year-old small-scale miner, Evans Yaw Obolo, to 36 months imprisonment for causing harm.
He pleaded guilty.
Prosecuting, Detective Chief Inspector Alex Asamoah told the court that both the complainant and the accused are small-scale miners (galamsy operators) at Bibiani.
He said in December, 2008, the complainant was given some money by his foreman to be given to his fellow workers for the work done.
