A 49-year-old fisherman from Mumford in the Central Region has been sentenced to 10 years imprisonment with hard labour after pleading guilty to defiling a 13-year-old girl.
The convict, Samuel Armah, popularly known as Kofi Nyan, was sentenced by Her Honour Nana Aba Quiba Nunoo at the Cape Coast Circuit Court Two on October 28, 2025. He was immediately transferred to Ankaful Prison to begin serving his sentence.
