The court, presided over by Her Worship Deborah Gyaawa Donkoh, sentenced each offender to 100 penalty units, equivalent to GHS 1,200.00, or a 10-day imprisonment term in default after they pleaded guilty to the sanitation offence.

Five of the offenders have paid their fines, while one offender, Ebenezer Atakorah, will serve a 10-day prison sentence after failing to pay.
The offenders were arrested around 5:30 a.m. by Metro Guards personnel of the Kumasi.
