The Amasaman Circuit Court has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of a 17-year-old herdsman, Alhassan Yunus, who is accused of stealing five sheep valued at GH¢15,000.
According to the court, Yunus failed to appear as instructed by the police, prompting the issuance of the warrant. Once arrested, he is expected to be arraigned alongside Mariwan Amadu, who is alleged to have received the stolen animals.
Presiding Judge Mrs. Akosua Anokyewaa Adjepong adjourned the case to December 11, 2025.
Police Chief Inspector Frederick Awuah-Ansah informed the court that the complainant, Mohammed Seidu, a mechanic residing in Obeyeyie near Amasaman, reported the theft after returning home on July 18, 2025, to find that his five sheep were missing.
A search led to Yunus, who was found in possession of the animals. He allegedly admitted stealing the sheep and claimed he handed them over to Amadu because he owed him money.
Amadu, a trader living in Achiaman, was arrested on July 24 and reportedly confirmed receiving the animals from Yunus. He claimed, however, that the sheep later went out to graze and did not return.
Following investigations, Yunus was charged with unlawful entry and stealing, while Amadu was charged with dishonestly receiving stolen property.
