The Court, presided over by David Ofori, heard the case on Tuesday, January 20, 2026.

The five suspects, Felix Darquah, Isaac Baah, Richmond Yeah, Edward Baah, and Maxwell Kwasi Antwi, were accused of brutally attacking teacher Michael Quayson.

Four adult suspects were each fined GH1,800 or sentenced to six months in prison.

They were also ordered to pay GH2,000 in compensation to the teacher. Maxwell, a juvenile, was dealt with separately under the law.

A sixth suspect, Kingsley Baah, who had initially fled the scene, was later arrested and remanded into custody for two weeks.
