The Paramount Chief of the Yilo Krobo Traditional Area in the Eastern Region, Nene Oklepeme Nuer Anorbah Sasraku, was convicted and sentenced to four days in prison by the Koforidua High Court for contempt of court on Monday, May 12, 2025.

However, the process of transferring him to prison was marred by controversy and confusion.

Presiding Judge, Her Ladyship Jennifer Myers Ahmed, also directed the Chief to sign a six-month bond of good behavior following his failure to appear in court to answer contempt charges.

His repeated absences prompted the issuance of a bench warrant, which ultimately led to his arrest and appearance in court.
