Police Arrest Man Over Sex With Minor

The Ghana Police Service has arrested suspect, Nana Poku Piesie alias Kwabena, who was seen in a viral video claiming to have had sexual intercourse with a minor.

The suspect who was arrested yesterday, July 16, 2024 is currently in custody assisting police investigations.

This was announced by the police in statement a day after the viral video of the man confessing on-air about sleeping with a minor emerged on social media.

“The Ghana Police Service today 16th July 2024, arrested suspect, Nana Poku Piesie alias Kwabena, who was seen in a viral video claiming to have had sexual intercourse with a minor. The suspect is in custody assisting police investigations. We wish to assure the public that the suspect will be taken through the due process of the law” the police statement reads.

In a viral video on social media, the presenter speaking on Sompa FM shared a story about how he engaged in a sexual relationship with a girl from age 14 when she was in primary six until she completed her secondary school education.

“I had sex with one 14-year-old a few years ago. Her father is a wealthy man in Dormaa Ahenkro. I slept with her so much… She was very voluptuous. I had sex with her multiple times from when she was in class 6 until she completed Kumasi SHS. Oh Kwame, sinning is not good,” he reflected.

His confession came up during a discussion on the show about the nature of Karma. He shared his experience saying “Now after my daughter also got to that level, I noticed one teacher had also started engaging her inappropriately, and so I complained about it to my wife, and then she reminded me of my past sin with the other girl.”

“She asked what age the girl was when I had sex with her, and then I said she was about 14-15 years old. Then she asked me how I got hold of her. I said it was through extra classes and by the time I knew it, I had broken her virginity. And then my wife responded, do you know God has paid you back? I thought about it and told her she was right. The law of natural karma. It hurt me,” he mentioned.

There was a widespread condemnation of the video with celebrities like Sarkodie and Lydia Forson calling for his arrest.

Sharing her opinion about the issue on X, Lydia Forson wrote: “If I speak on this video now, you will say I hate men. You will ignore that this man openly bragged about sleeping with a 14 year old on air. You will instead focus on my outrage; or make it the 14 year olds fault for allowing this.”

Sarkodie on the same social media platform indicated “I sense no hate here; he should not be walking around freely.”
