Man, 31, escapes lynching after stealing sheep at Bibiani

A 31-year-old man narrowly escaped lynching at Bibiani in the Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai Municipality of the Western North Region after allegedly stealing eight sheep.

The suspect, Kwasi Asamoah, a teaching intern at Juaboso D/A Primary School, is accused of stealing the animals from Oforikrom, a suburb of Bibiani.

Some livestock farmers told Adom News that sheep had been disappearing from the community, but efforts to catch the thief had been unsuccessful.

They, therefore, lodged a complaint with butchers at the Bibiani slaughterhouse to help identify the culprits.

Their efforts paid off when they visited the abattoir and spotted four of their missing sheep. Upon inquiry, the butchers revealed that Asamoah had sold the animals to them and promised to bring more.

The next morning, Asamoah returned with four additional sheep, making a total of eight. When confronted, the herdsmen identified all the animals as theirs.

The suspect was subjected to severe beatings before being handed over to the Bibiani police, despite his claims that three of the sheep belonged to him and that he was taking them to Kumasi for sale.

One of the butchers, Iddrisu Abdulai, disclosed that Asamoah had sold the animals for GH¢3,000.
