Defiled 4-year-old girl fights for her life as 'gods' declare suspect innocent
The mother of a 4-year-old girl defiled by a
community member at Assin Adadientem in the
Central Region is calling for justice.

Distressed Monica Nyarko has accused a chief in
the area of obstructing justice as she alleges the
chief told her action cannot be taken against the
accused.

According to her, the chief told her the community
gods say the suspect is innocent.

Madam Nyarko told Joy News’ Maxwell Agbagba at
the St Francis-Xavier Hospital in Assin Fosu
that, her daughter could barely walk due to
pain.

The little girl is unable to stand and the pain is
taking a toll on her health as she looks drained
with bandages of the intravenous therapy still in
her hand.

Narrating what happened, Madam Nyarko said she had
traveled for a funeral when the incident
happened.

She discovered what happened when she was bathing
her daughter upon her return, but the little
girl protested because she was feeling pains.

When she asked what had happened, the girl told
her mother one Kwabena had inserted his manhood in
her in a toilet facility.

Kwabena reportedly sent the eight-year-old elder
sister of the defiled girl to buy him a coconut
and further warned the little girl inside the
toilet not to respond when her sister comes back
calling her.

He told her he would kill her with a stick if she
responded. After the act, he carried her on his
shoulder and dropped her at the back of her home
because she could not walk.

The defiled girl bled for three days after the
incident and could not pass urine until recently.

Madam Nyarko reported the incident to the chief of
the area and reported the matter to a deity,
which says the accused boy is innocent.

A journalist who resides in the area, Oscar
Dadzie told Joy News rape is common in the Assin
Fosu municipality.

“It is very rampant here. This year alone, a
similar incident happened at Assin Ayitey in which
a teacher defiled a 3-year-old child. Within a
week, at Assin Lartey, a seven-month-old baby was
defiled by her 24-year-old elder brother.

“Also, at Assin Adiembra, a 13-year-old pupil
was defiled by a 52-year-old man.

Then again in Assin Awireso, a 15-year-old girl
was defiled by her stepfather in the bush as they
were going to tap palm wine," he recounted.

In another incident, the journalist said at Assin
Manso, a 13-year-old iced water seller was
gang-raped by three guys to the point of
unconsciousness. She was dumped in the forest and
her decomposed body was later found.
  
Again, last week a 16-year-old girl on her way to
dump refuse was kidnapped and raped by a
32-year-old man for three days without food or
water. 

According to him, whenever such incidents happen,
some of the chiefs sit and plan how to settle them
without going to the police station.
