A mason who appeared before the Tarkwa Circuit Court for unlawfully entering the Elim Glorious Church at Wassa Dompim near Bawdie in the Wassa Amenfi East constituency has been fined GH¢3,600. Thomas Bukuro, alias Paa Kwesi, 22, was charged with causing unlawful damage and unlawful entry, and in default of the fine, he would serve a five-year jail sentence on each count to run concurrently. Prosecuting Chief Superintendent of Police Alex Odonkor told the court, presided over by Mrs. Hathia Ama Manu, that the complainant, who is a steel bender and a member of the Elim Glorious Church, was a resident of Dompim, while Bukuro was from Wassa Bawdie. The prosecution said for some time now, the complainant and his church members had been experiencing theft in the chapel, and all efforts made by them to apprehend the culprits had proven futile.
