Amasaman: A 28-year-old head potter, Kennedy Dadzie, has been granted GHC50,000.00 bail with two sureties by the Amasaman Circuit Court for allegedly stabbing a driver. The Court, presided over by Ms. Enid Marful-Sau, ordered that Dadzie's sureties provide valid National identity cards to the Court's Registry. Dadzie denied stabbing Mr. Kofi Owusu in the arm and was asked to reappear before the court on April 22, 2025.
According to Ghana News Agency, Police Chief Inspector Salifu Nashiru stated that both the complainant, Owusu, a driver, and Dadzie, a head potter, reside in Treba. In July 2024, Mr. Owusu noticed his Samsung A13 phone was missing. Upon questioning his wife, she allegedly mentioned seeing Dadzie smoking behind their building at midnight. Owusu reportedly warned Dadzie to stay away from the back of his house, which led to tensions between the two.
The Court was informed that 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 chased him with a stick, causing Dadzie to flee.
Shortly thereafter, while Owusu was heading home, Dadzie allegedly emerged and stabbed him in the left arm before escaping. Chief Inspector Nashiru disclosed that Dadzie was arrested on March 10, 2025, following a tip-off. During interrogation, he reportedly admitted to the offence and was subsequently arraigned.
