He was found days later lodging with his girlfriend and was handed over to the Awaso police.
Amanim was consequently charged with causing fear and panic when he appeared before the Bibiani Circuit Court presided over by Justice Joshua Caleb Abaidoo.
He pleaded guilty and begged the court for clemency.
He was fined 50 penalty units, amounting to GH₵600 or face a three-month prison sentence.
Amanim paid the fine and signed a two-year bond of good behaviour with a six-month prison term with hard labour if breached.
Amanim following the trial apologised to his family and the public once again for causing them distress.
He said he did not know what came over him to act in that way and was truly sorry.
Meanwhile, his father said his son’s behaviour has brought his family and community disgrace and begged for forgiveness on his behalf.
“He is not irresponsible. It is due to unforeseen issues and situations that this has occurred. Please forgive him," he said.

According to a post on X by EDHUB (@eddie_wrt), the young lady had been missing for six months, only to be found on the outskirts of Kwahu-Tafo, near her home in the Eastern Region, dressed like a priestess.
EDHUB (@eddie_wrt) said in his X post that the lady was found at 2am on Monday, April 15, 2024, in an unconscious state, adding that residents believed she was taken away into the bush by some spirits.
In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, the young lady stood in the middle of a circle with a man beside her smearing her body with a white substance.
She was later taken home to meet her family and her community members.
