The event, which happened at approximately 6 p.m. on Wednesday, seriously injured 36-year-old farmer Osman and sent him to the hospital.
Osman claims that the argument started after he paid GH¢1.20 for a cigarette at Affumwaa’s bar. He promised to pay the remaining 20 pesewas after making the initial payment of GH¢1.
He went back to the drinking establishment the following day with the intention of paying off his outstanding debt and purchasing another cigarette. With the assumption that the debt would be removed, he gave Affumwaa GH¢5.
He then tried to make another purchase, but Affumwaa confronted him and demanded the 20 pesewas, sparking a furious altercation.
According to Osman’s account, the dispute swiftly turned into a brawl. He claimed that when Affumwaa hit him in the head with a stick, he fell to the ground.
“She, with the help of her children, pounced on me, beating me mercilessly before biting my testicles,” a report by graphic.com.gh quoted Osman as saying.
According to him, he yelled for assistance and started bleeding heavily before onlookers hurried him to the hospital.
The event was confirmed by Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Jacob Kumedzro, the Assin Fosu District Police Commander, who also said that investigations were still underway.
Osman has been released from the hospital.
