The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to him. 

In view of his plea, prosecuting counsel,  P. A Attah prayed the court to remand the defendant in a Correctional Centre and fix a date for commencement of trial.

He adjourned the matter till June 8, 2023 for commencement of trial.
