Assin Fosu: Fake abortion doctor convicted for illegal abortion; fined GHC4800

A forty-year-old “abortion doctor”, Charlotte Asiedu has been convicted by the Assin Fosu Magistrate Court of illegal abortion and fined GHC 4,800.

It came to light in Court that Ms Asiedu, who is a hairdresser, had induced a 17-year-old student with a concoction so as to help her terminate a 17-week pregnancy. The concoction, however, caused the victim severe stomach pain leading to her hospitalization.

Ms Asiedu’s accomplice, a 21-year-old boyfriend of the pregnant girl, was also convicted of abetment of crime by the court and fined GHC 4,800.

Details of case.

Before the Court presided over by Justice Abdul Majid Iliasu, the convicts had pleaded guilty and were therefore convicted on their own plea.

According to the prosecution led by Inspector Matilda Osaah Buabeng, the mother of the victim, Victoria Arthur, lodged a complaint with the Assin Fosu police when she found out that the hospitalisation of her daughter was due to her having drunk a concoction provided by Ms Asiedu to get rid of her pregnancy.

She added that it was the victim’s boyfriend who sought the services of Ms Asiedu at GHC 200 in order to abort the pregnancy. The victim, moments after taking the concoction, had to be rushed to the St Francis Xavier Hospital in Assin Fosu for medical attention given the severity of her reaction to the concoction.

The victim is currently still receiving medical attention.

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities.
