A 47-year-old man has been arrested in Kuwait, a community in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region, on suspicion of defiling a three-year-old girl.
Locals apparently captured the culprit, named as Efo Emma, in the act and brought her to the Tuba Police Station, where she was placed under arrest.
Reporting on “Nyankonton Mu Nsem” on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, Oheneba Ademah stated that Efo Emma allegedly lured the minor into his room and defiled her on Wednesday, May 29, 2024. The incident occurred while the victim’s mother was at the market.
According to the report, another tenant in the house heard the minor crying from Efo Emma’s room. Despite knocking, there was no response, and the door was locked from the inside.
Ademah reported that the tenant questioned Efo Emma about why he had the girl in his room and refused to open the door while she was crying. When the suspect did not respond, the tenant raised an alarm, prompting other residents to rush to the scene.
They forced open Efo Emma’s door and discovered him naked, having smeared the victim’s private parts with pomade. Ademah further revealed that the suspect had also applied pomade to his genitalia.
Efo Emma was arrested and taken to the Tuba Police Station, where he is currently being held. The minor, who is in pain, has been transported to the hospital for a medical examination.
