The Nkawkaw Magistrate Court has fined the operations manager of Multi Credit Savings and Loans Ltd, Ayivor Elikplim GH₵13,000.

In default, Mr Elikplim will serve a 24-month jail term.

This was when he appeared before the court presided over by His Worship Isaac Agyei on Tuesday.

Elikplim was fined after he assaulted Martha Adutwumwaa, a 28-year-old mobile banker, allegedly over a shortage of only GH¢90.

Adutwumwaa reportedly sought medical attention at Nkawkaw Holy Family Hospital but faced difficulties in raising the GH¢400 needed for a medical report.

The court has ordered that GH¢7,000 of the fine will be paid to Martha as compensation.
