“There was drama at an Accra Circuit Court when two out of three accused persons admitted stealing goats at Teshie Camp Two area in Accra. Emmanuel Agyei, aka Obama, a fisherman and David Agyei, a borehole driller, pleaded guilty to the charges of conspiracy and stealing.

The accused persons, said it was true that they had been stealing goats and that on August 8, 2024, they stole locally bred goats within the vicinity, the Ghana News Agency (GNA) reports. The police is holding them for allegedly stealing nine foreign goats from Germany valued at $13,500 belonging to one Seidu Yakubu, the complainant in the case.”

This is not the kind of case that might be published in The Times in the UK! But different cultures value different things. Goats are valuable animals and sell for a lot of money in the markets. UK courts deal with the theft of cars and Ghana courts deal with the theft of goats. Both are valuable in different ways and to have to have the safety of the law to protect them.
