Boy, 18, defiles three-year-old girl in Central Region
A 3-year-old girl has been allegedly defiled at Akufo Krodua, a
community near Bawjiase in the Central region, just weeks after a
4-year-old girl reportedly suffered a similar fate at Assin Adedientam
in the same region.
The victim was initially given medical treatment at the Bawjiase
Health Centre, and was later referred to the Agona Swedru Government
Hospital for further treatment.
But for the kindness of a medical doctor at the Swedru Government
Hospital who offered to attend to the girl without any payment, the
victim would have been denied the treatment and endorsement of her
medical form, as her parents could not raise the required fee for the
cost of the endorsement.
The victim was alleged to have suffered the callous act from an
18-year-old neighbour named Yavor on Thursday, October 5, and the case
has since been reported to the police.
Meanwhile, the Central regional police has mounted a search for the suspect who is currently on the run.
The police are also counting on the general public for any information on Yavor for his arrest and prosecution.
The Central Region has been inundated with cases of rape and
defilement recently, and recent visits to the region by both the Gender
and Social Protection Minister, Otiko Afisa Djaba, and the Interior
Minister, Ambrose Derry, sought to assure the nation that their
respective Ministries are working on curbing the menace.
