The Amasaman Circuit Court has sentenced an ex-convict, Abdul Razak, to 20 years' imprisonment in hard labour for sodomising a minor.

Razak, also known as Nii Atofotse, a labourer, was remanded before sentencing.

He was given five years' imprisonment in hard labour for threat of death after admitting the offences.

Razak was convicted on his own plea, having initially denied the charges.
