An 18-year-old driver’s mate has been remanded by a District Court in Awutu Bereku in the Central Region for claiming that his penis shrunk after a mason touched his shoulders.
Emmanuel Arhinful, the driver’s mate, was remanded after a medical examination revealed that his penis was “intact and functioning normally without any deformity.”
Arhinful has been charged with publication of false news and deceiving a public officer, Corporal Mercy Nyarko Boatemaa, by alleging that his penis shrunk after being touched by the complainant, Prince Zo Brimo.
Despite denying the charges, Arhinful was remanded into police custody to reappear on April 17, 2024.
Prosecutors, led by Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Thomas Sarfo and Chief Inspector Bernice Wie Kpuusuu, told the court that the complainant, Prince Zo Brimo, a mason residing at Liberia Camp, was followed by Arhinful while he was on his way to Ofaakor.
Brimo became alarmed when he noticed Arhinful following him and sought assistance from the Kasoa New Market Police Station.
During interrogation, Arhinful alleged that his manhood had shrunk after Brimo touched his shoulders at the Kasoa MTN office. He was then issued a Police medical report form for examination.
The medical report confirmed that Arhinful’s penis was “intact and functioning normally without any deformity.”
Arhinful was subsequently arrested and cautioned.
