The Kade District Magistrate Court on Tuesday granted a GHC 800 bail with one surety to Kwabena Akomeah, a farmer, who appeared before it charged with threatening a colleague.
Police Inspector D. T. Nartey told the court that both the complainant and the accused were farmers residing at Asuom.
He said in 1996 the complainant gave the accused a piece of land for nursing cocoa seedlings.
The accused however alleged that the complainant sold the land to him for GHC 50 but gave him no receipt for the part payment of GHC 30 through his brother.
The prosecutor said on May 18, the complainant together with a brother and his two children were in their room when they heard a knock on their door.
When the door was opened the accused entered and threatened to kill the complainant if he dared to step on the piece of land he had sold to him.
The accused told him that he did not have a gun or money to fight the complainant but had a cutlass with which to kill him and added that if he
made any attempt to enter the land he would see what would happen to him.
When he was arrested the accused told the police in a caution statement that he did not threaten the complainant, but went to his house only to ask him why after selling the land to him he wanted to take it back.
