A 30-year-old farmer, Emmanuel Kwofie, has been sentenced to three months’ imprisonment with hard labour for assaulting his wife, Diana Mensah, in an incident that went viral on social media.

Kwofie was convicted by the Agona Nkwanta District Court on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, after pleading guilty to a charge of assault.

According to a statement issued by the Agona Nkwanta District Police Command on October 14, 2026, investigations revealed that Kwofie and his wife, who deals in second-hand clothing, live together at Domeabra in the Agona Nkwanta Municipality.

The police said the incident occurred on October 8, 2026, when Kwofie allegedly accused Mensah of having an extramarital affair and subjected her to severe beatings, as captured in a video that circulated on social media.
