A Goaso Circuit Court has remanded 26-year-old unemployed Angbaoro Nyowamille, into prison custody for allegedly threatening one Ashaitu Dinko with death and possession of firearm at Kenyasi Number Two in the Asutifi North District.

He said the accused was arrested and during a search in his room, a locally manufactured pistol, a pair of scissors and a knife were found and after investigations he was charged with the offence.
