It was all drama and laughter on Wednesday morning at the Ejusu District Court in the Ashanti Region, as 4 suspect gentlemen who appeared before the court for allegedly stealing 7 fat goats from their neighbour pleaded not guilty with the claims that their actions were just a prank (April fool).

The judge presiding over the case could not hold it in but broke into loud laughter… When the accused was further asked why they killed the said goats, they answered: “My Lord, please it was all about April fool.. we wanted to prank our neighbour but he got it all wrong”.

Well, this time around, the whole court was in chronic laughter as the judge had no choice but to adjourn the case to 24th April.

Meanwhile, the suspects have been detained to help the police carry out further investigations on the matter.
