A woman has been sent to prison in Kumasi for breaking market rules. Kande Seidu, who sells food at Alabar Market, was given a 20-day jail sentence.
The punishment came from a district court in Kumasi. Officials reported the sentencing on Monday.
Seidu broke public market regulations. She continued to use open fire despite being told not to.
The Environmental Health Unit of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly had banned the use of open fires in the market.
Seidu repeatedly ignored these orders. This led to her court appearance and sentencing.
The court’s decision highlights the importance of following safety rules in public spaces.
