Four out of six men said to have abducted two class four pupils and took turns to have sex with them for one week have been arrested by the police.
Those arrested are Benjamin Mensah, Vincent Avi, Samuel Otoo and Kingsley Chidi while two others identified only as Seth and Senior are on the run.
The two 15-year-old girls were found in a depressed state and in pain in the room of one of the men who took turns to sexually abuse them at Gomoa Nyanyano, near Kasoa, in the Central region.
They could not walk and were crying consistently. The Public Relations Officer of the Accra Regional Police Command, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Mrs Effia Tenge told Graphic Online that the parents of the two girls who are school mates had reported to the Odorkor police in Accra on February 8, 2020, that their children who left their respective homes at Mallam for school at 6:30 am on February 7, 2020, had since not returned home and their whereabouts could not be traced.
The police in their investigations established that the girls left their school unceremoniously whilst class was still in session at about 11 am on the said day and met two of the men Seth and Senior at McCarthy Hills in Accra.
The men took them to the house of one of them where they had sexual intercourse with the girls and left them to their fate. After a week of going about their sexual adventures, one of the men, Samuel Otoo called an aunt of one of the girls on February 14, 2020, and informed her that the girls were lodging with him and they wanted clothes and money for their upkeep since they would be spending a month with him.
The information was provided to the police and a joint operation by the Gbawe Lafa Police and the Nyanyano District Police Command at about 10:30 am on February 14, 2020, led to the arrest of the four men from their separate homes in Kasoa.
Mrs Tenge said efforts were underway to get the other two men arrested while those arrested are being held for sexually exploiting the girls.
