After they were separated, she went on to report the incident to the police which led the police to arrest Asare-Sakyi.

He was charged with the offence of causing harm to which he pleaded guilty with an explanation that he did not assault her intentionally.

Asare-Sakyi said he told his pregnant girlfriend to be patient and that he will marry her, but she wasn’t patient and it generated into an argument and the biting of her finger.

The court, presided over by Mrs Rita Abrokwa Doko, gave the sentence while taking into consideration the fact that Asare-Sakyi did not waste the court’s time, he is not known and he also pleaded for leniency to go and take care of the pregnancy.
