The Police in Bawku is
seeking advice from
the State Attorney’s office before proceeding
with an alleged defilement case involving
one Wahid Azumah, a pupil teacher in the Bawku
area.
Though the suspect has been granted
bail, some residents, particularly, parents and teachers who are concerned about the case told Radio Ghana
that the news about the bail, came to them
as a surprise.
The Bawku Divisional Police
Command has, confirmed that, indeed a case to that effect was reported to them in November last year and upon
series of adjournments, Wahid Azumah, was
granted bail by the Bawku Circuit Court.
The suspect is expected to re-appear in Court on February 2, 2015.
It was reported that, on November 22, 2014 the
suspect, Wahid Azumah, allegedly defiled
a 14 year old girl and was subsequently arrested.
The 14 year old girl is said to be battling with severe
pain as a result of the act, as it has
caused serious injury to the private part with swelling developed around the Vulva.
A concerned teacher in the Bawku Municipality,
who declined to be mentioned said the suspect should be dealt with according to
the country’s law on child molestation.
He however pleaded with the Minister
for Gender, Children and Social
Protection, Nana Oye Lithur, to attached much interest on the case and ensure
that justice was done to serve as a
deterrent to others
