A Porter at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle, Accra, Miwordzi Kwasi, who allegedly defiled a 12-year-old girl, has been arrested by the Neoplan Station Police in Accra.
A Good Samaritan, who apparently saw Miwordzi allegedly defiling the girl at a spot between two kiosks at Odawna, reported the incident to the police, who in turn arrested the suspect last Monday.
Chief Inspector of Police, Irene Oppong, the Public Relations Officer of the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) told The Mirror that when the victim was examined, blood stains were found in her pants.
According to Mrs Oppong, the girl, who narrated her ordeal to DOVVSU, said she hailed from Agona Swedru, where she stayed with her mother, but came to Accra about two weeks ago without having in mind a specific place to sleep.
Mrs Oppong said the girl, whose identity was being protected, told the police that upon roaming in town for some days, she met one Agya Osei, who introduced her to an iced-water seller and assisted her by running errands for her, for which she was paid.
The victim added that on one of her errands, she met Miwordzi, who called her to buy her water, but ended up defiling her.
The police are still conducting further investigations.
Ms Oppong said efforts were being made to trace the victim’s parents.
