4 Year Old Defilement Claim: Report Tells No Hymen Broken

A Joy News report into the alleged incident has thrown public attention to the girl’s condition.

Since the media report, the state has revived its interest in the matter. The Central Regional Commander of the Police Service has summoned the Divisional Commander of Assin Fosu, Chief Superintendent Henry Bacho.

The Gender and Social Protection Ministry has been asked to intervene and get justice for the child.
