{{In Ghana after a bizarre quarrel over a coconut tree, two women face court charges for severely injuring a man\u2019s anus.}}<\/p>\n
48-year-old Madam Agnes Miezah Bazayi and her 18-year-old daughter, Georgina Morkeh Menlah, both appeared in the Half Assini District magistrate\u2019s court where they were convicted of the attack on their neighbour\u2019s back passage.<\/p>\n
The neighbour, a fisherman named Ezah Kojo, had hired a tree surgeon or comparable handyman to prune the branches of coconut tree that belonged to Madam Bazayi. <\/p>\n
Branches from the tree were allegedly causing damage to Mr. Ezah\u2019s property. <\/p>\n
But when the lumberjack arrived, he was forced out of the tree by Madam Bazayi and her teenage daughter who used a long sharpened raffia palm branch to poke the workman\u2019s buttocks. <\/p>\n
When the contractor refused to continue the job, Mr. Ezah climbed the tree himself and again the mother and daughter attempted to use their weapon to lacerate his behind.<\/p>\n
But the long pointed stick actually penetrated Mr. Kojo directly through his anus and caused considerable damage and injury to his colon, intestines and rectum. <\/p>\n
Kojo was rushed to the Eikwe Catholic Hospital for emergency colorectal surgerly. <\/p>\n
The injured fisherman was then referred to two other hospitals in the region in a desperate attempt to save his life.<\/p>\n
He had to undergo major surgery to create an anal opening in his abdomen and as he can no longer pass faeces in the traditional fashion.<\/p>\n
Both Madam Bazayi and Miss Menlah were found guilty of the crime and the case has been referred to the Western Region Supervising High Court Judge in Sekondi where a stern sentence is expected to be handed down.<\/p>\n
