A 21-year-old man described as an illegal miner has been ordered into prison custody by the Nkawie Circuit Court. The court sits in the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality in Ghana's Ashanti Region. The charge against him is the alleged theft of property belonging to Asuowin D/A Junior High School. The report does not say what was taken or how the alleged theft came to light. A remand order means the accused will stay behind bars while the case proceeds. It was not stated whether he has entered a plea or when he will next appear. The school, for its part, faces the practical problem of replacing whatever is missing.
