The Enchi District Magistrate court has granted a GH?3,000 bail with two sureties to a 24-year-old farmer who allegedly threatened to harm his father.

The accused, Emmanuel Gyebi, denied charges of threat of harm, stealing and causing unlawful damage, and would re-appear before the court on October 22.

Prosecuting, Police Detective Inspector Joseph Kwadwo Agyare, told the court presided over by Mr Eric Baah Boateng, that the complainant Kwadwo Asi is 52-year-old and a farmer.

He said the complainant lives in the same house with Gyebi, who is his son at Kwaku-Attah in the Aowin Municipality

He said the accused quarrels with the complainant at the least provocation.

On September 2, 2020, Gyebi approached the complainant and requested for his share of money for a palm wine they tapped a year ago.
