A 24 year old student of the University Of Cape Coast (UCC), who stabbed his colleague in the armpit with a broken bottle, for mocking him, was on Monday granted bail by a Cape Coast Circuit Court.

The first year Mathematics and Business student Jeffery Obeng , was granted bail in the sum of GH¢ 5, 000.00 with two sureties.

Police Chief Inspector Charles Anku, prosecuting, told the court presided over Mr. Kofi Seshie Ametewee that Obeng was a resident of the University’s Student Representative Council Hostel, and on Tuesday December 23, he stole a laptop computer belonging to Richard Opoku, a colleague student.

He said Obeng hid the computer with another colleague but it was retrieved by the Campus Security Guards after the owner had made a complaint to them.

Chief Inspector Anku said on that same day at about 4:00 pm, some of Obeng’s colleagues saw him and started teasing him over the theft case but this infuriated him and as a result he stabbed one of them, Vincent Opoku Agyeman, in the left armpit with a broken bottle.
