A 45-year-old woman is alleging rape being sanctioned by the leadership of the opposition of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The woman made this claim during an interview on the Sompa Nkomo show on Sompa FM.
According to the woman, the alleged rape incidents occurred in 2019, after she left Sunyani in the Bono Region to Kenyase in the Ashanti Region to be accommodated by a friend of hers after falling ill.
While staying with her friend, a young man came to where she lived to rent a place.
“When he came, I was not on good terms with him,” she said in Twi.
However, someway somehow, the man visited her at Sunyani when she left for her own place.
“So I asked him of the reason for his visit. He told me and not long after, he started touching me. He had never made any form of sexual advances to him. We struggled and he got his way and slept with me,” she said on the show.
He was 28-years-old and she was about 40 years old at the time of the alleged incident.
According to the woman, the man continued to visit and forced himself on her after a struggle.
She added that she felt uneasy and decided to ask the man why he forced himself on her.
“He told me it is the leaders. So I asked what leaders. I kept insisting and he told me that it is NDC leaders who sent him,” she said.
Aside from the claims, the woman failed to provide any form of evidence to support her claim against the party or the rape incidents.
It is also unknown if the alleged rape incidents have been reported to the police for investigations to take place.
