A 52-year-old steel bender has been jailed for six months by an Accra court after attacking a colleague with a machete, alleging the victim attempted to snatch his girlfriend.

Kojo Senagbe, initially charged with causing harm, changed his plea from not guilty to guilty after spending time on remand.

The court, presided over by Kwabena Kodua Obiri Yeboah, convicted him accordingly and imposed a GH¢7,200 fine, with a further six-month prison term in default.

He was also ordered to compensate the victim with GH¢5,000.
