According to Chief Inspector Abochi, the accused persons destroyed Patience’s farm with their cattle and were warned severally but fell on deaf ears.

He said Patience tried to defend her farm with catapults but this provoked the herdsmen who pounced on her in her room after they (herdsmen) broke into her room through the window.

The Prosecutor said they beat her up with sticks and stones which she sustained injuries.

According to the Police Prosecutor, reports from the medical team at the Goaso Government Hospital have confirmed that one of the eyes of Yaa Patience has been partly damaged.
