Mankranso (Ash), Sept 1, GNA - A Mankranso Magistrate Court last Tuesday granted a 31-year-old chainsaw operator, Kwabena Osah 10 million cedis bail for offensive conduct.

Osah who pleaded not guilty would re-appear on September 13. Police Inspector Francis Asante told the Court Presided over by Mr Frank Owusu-Afriyie that Nana Amma Konadu, Queen Mother of Nsuta in the Ahafo-Ano South district of Ashanti, pasted funeral posters of her deceased brother, Nana Yaw Akyeampong, an ex-chief of the town on some houses including her house.
