MP’s boy granted bail for alleged assault

One Akili Bobo, said to be Personal Assistant to Hon. Andy Appiah Kubi, lawmaker for Asante Akim North in the Ashanti Region, standing trial for assaulting the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Constituency Women's Organizer in the area, Yaa Achiaa has been granted a bail of Ghc 5,000 by the Agogo Magistrate Court.

The court had earlier remanded the accused into police custody but was allegedly released by the Agogo Police; Akili Bobo was, however, re – arrested to stand trial.

The victim Yaa Achiaa who also was accused of causing pandemonium on the streets of Agogo has been granted bail in similar amount and both are to re-appear 28/8/18 before the Court presided by His Worship George Ofori.

According to reports, the confusion that erupted a polling station meeting among executives of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Asante Akim North Constituency has left the Women's Organizer with a swollen face.

Yaa Achiaa who narrated her ordeal on local radio stations said it was over jobs because some of the executives were denying them their share of what has been allocated to them at Bontoyiase.

According to her, she was denied access to a parcel of land to weed on and when these issues, as well as fortnight contributions to welfare fund, were raised, tempers flared leading to one Akili Bobo pounced on her and beat her to a pulp.

“He hurled insults at me despite the fact I can give birth to someone older than him. He never showed respect and started beating me up”, she revealed.
