Driver jailed for issuing death threats

Dadzie pleaded guilty to the two counts of threat of death with an explanation.

According to him, he issued those threats under the influence of alcohol. 

The presiding judge of the Akyem Swedru Circuit Court, Mr Yaw Atta Sampong, doing additional duties at the Agona Swedru Circuit Court, however, convicted Dadzie on his own plea.

Police Inspector S. Opoku-Mensah, the prosecutor, said Kwame Arko Forson and Daniel Baffour, as well as Dadzie, were natives of Agona Abodom but Dadzie was a driver based at Kasoa.

According to the prosecutor, Dadzie, who travelled to Abodom on October 24, 2013, became alarmed about the death of one Kofi Abbam after his (Abbam’s) release on bail after his arrest in connection with a narcotic case.

Inspector Opoku-Mensah said Dadzie accused Forson and Baffour of being behind the death of his master (Abbam) and threatened to kill the two members of the neighbourhood watch committee.
