The KUNTANASE police have mounted a search for the arrest of Bright Appiah, a primary three teacher of Konkoma D/A primary, for his alleged role in the death of an SHS three Business student, Theresa Boakye.

Appiah reportedly impregnated the girl and later administered a substance believed to be a herbal concoction to terminate the pregnancy, resulting in her premature death.

Theresa Boakye, 19, was a native of Asisiriwa, a farming community in the Bosomtwe District of the Ashanti region, and a student of Beposo SHS in the same district.

According to reports, the suspect asked her to terminate the pregnancy so that she could continue her education but luck eluded the two when she passed away on October 24, 2011 after bleeding profusely.

Daily Guide gathered that the deceased was four months pregnant when she attempted to commit the abortion. It was also learnt from the deceased’s uncle, Kwame Owusu, that she failed to disclose who was responsible for the pregnancy until when she was about to die.

Daily Guide also learnt that the deceased moved from her apartment and went to stay with the suspect in his room where some of her personal belongings were found by her relations.

When contacted, the Kuntanase District Police Commander, ASP Edward Osei, confirmed the story and said the deceased’s uncle had lodged a complaint at the station.

According to him, the deceased complained of severe abdominal pains and started bleeding profusely from her private parts and was admitted to the Kuntanase General Hospital for treatment.

At the hospital, it was established that when the deceased was interrogated by a medical staff, she confessed that the suspect administered a traditional medicine to her to terminate the pregnancy.

It was however alleged that the deceased was referred to the Pramso St. Michael’s Hospital because the doctors and nurses were on strike at Kuntanase General Hospital at the time but died soon after. Meanwhile, Theresa’s body is still being kept at the Pramso St. Michael Hospital while the police are making efforts to arrest the run-away lover man.

A film actor, Jim Iyke, 35, was on Thursday arraigned before an Abuja Chief Magistrates' Court charged with N15 million fraud.
The Police Prosecutor, Mr Chijoke Okezie, told the court that on Aug. 8, Habiba Abubakar wrote a petition to the Inspector General of Police (IG) to investigate the fraud.





He said that investigation into the case revealed that the accused, a resident of Sunnyville Estate, Abuja, deceived Abubakar into acquiring 15 per cent equity shares to the tune of N15 million from his company, Untamed Records Ltd.
Okezie said the accused admitted that the complainant paid the money into his Oceanic Bank account No. 00500173691, deviating from his initial plan of investment and converted the money to his personal use.
He added that when the complainant confronted the accused, he resorted to beating her and threatened to kill her.
Okezie said the accused was charged with criminal breach of trust, criminal force, assault, cheating and criminal misappropriation which contravened sections 312,265,322 397 and 309 of the Penal Code.
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Counsel to the accused, Esther Uzoma, made an oral bail application for the accused in pursuit of section 341(2) of the Criminal Procedural Code.


She prayed the court to grant the accused bail on liberal terms and for self recognition, and promised that the accused would not jump bail.
However, Okezie objected to the bail application, saying that investigation into the case was not completed, and that criminal breach of trust was not ordinarily billable.
Chief Magistrate Okeagu Azubike, said that the bail application had merit and granted the accused bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum.
He ordered that the sureties must be responsible Nigerians who must reside within the jurisdiction of the court.
He adjourned the case to Dec. 9, to enable the police complete their investigation.
