The text messages by Nana Adwoa, 20, also included threats and abusive language.
On April 6, 2018, Adwoa sent some abusive and threatening messages to her boyfriend’s mother wishing her dead, according to the state prosecutor.
“If you are really sick like you claim, I wish you dead,” the prosecutor, Agnes Boafo, read to the court.
She also told the court that Adwoa sent a threatening message to the woman saying she would die soon.
In one of the messages, she also referred to the woman as an old wretched witch and that the woman had killed her husband.

The woman after receiving Adwoa's messages lodged a complaint at the Nungua Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service.
The accused was later arrested and after investigations, she was charged with the offence accordingly.
