She pleaded guilty and was convicted on her own plea

Prosecuting Police Sergeant Enoch Assan-Donkoh told the court presided over by Mr Charles Owusu Nsiah that Elizabeth Badu, the complainant was unemployed and a resident of Wassa Agona, while Awuah lived at Dompim Pepesa, both in the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipality.
