A retired teacher, identified as Philip Osei, has been fined a sum of GH₵ 2,000 in addition to other items for attempting to have sex with his friend’s wife at Bibiani-Natwikumye in the Bibiani Anhweaso Bekwai municipality of the Western North Region.
Following a scheme by his friend and his wife to reveal the sexual demand he had been making, he was caught red-handed.
By his plea, it was decided that the case should be resolved at home after he was turned over to the Bibiani police for an investigation.
After admitting the offence, the matter was referred to the chief for resolution.
The chiefs and elders of Bibiani declared Mr Osei guilty of the accusation levelled against him and, consequently, the penalty.
As restitution to his friend Nana Ibrahim and his wife, he was fined GH₵ 2,000 in addition to a sheep, a bottle of Schnapp, a crate of eggs, and other items.
As part of the punishment for his actions, he was also instructed to replace the bedsheets and mattress he had attempted to use to undertake his activities.
Nana Ibrahim Addae, the victim’s husband, stated that he is satisfied with the punitive measures meted out to Philip Osei.
