The Kade Magistrate Court has fined four youths GH¢3,800 each for their role in the assault of a teacher at Kade Senior High Technical School.
Presiding judge, His Worship George Davis Ofori, ordered that GH¢1,800 from each fine be paid to the court, while GH¢2,000 should go directly to the victim as compensation.
He warned that any convict who fails to pay will serve six months in prison.
The ruling follows the conviction of five suspects linked to the same incident. All five were charged with conspiracy to commit assault and assault.
They pleaded guilty and were convicted based on their own pleas.
The case dates back to January 7, 2026, when police arrested the suspects from different hideouts and arraigned them before the Kade District Court.

At the time, the court deferred sentencing and remanded them into custody. They were scheduled to reappear on January 20, when punishment would be announced.
In a statement, the Ghana Police Service cautioned the public, especially the youth, to avoid violent acts, stressing that such behavior is criminal under the law.
The police also reaffirmed their commitment to protecting lives and maintaining peace nationwide.
