Teacher rapes American volunteer

A science teacher at Brekumanso, a farming community near Asamankese in the West Akim Municipality of the Eastern Region, is in the grip of the Asamankese Police for raping a 22-year-old American volunteer, who is a colleague at the Brekumanso L/A Junior High School on April fool’s day.

Frank Akamah, 26, played smart on his female colleague, who teaches Mathematics and Science at the school, when he invited her over for dinner at First Stop Restaurant at Asamankese, where he resides.

Sources close to the Asamankese Police Command told DAILY GUIDE that on that fateful day, after dining and wining, Frank Akamah played some delay tactics until such a time that it was too late for his guest to get a car back home to Brekumanso, where she lives.

Pretending to be concerned, Akamah willingly proposed that his guest (name withheld) could pass the night so they could go to school the next day, as it was rather too late to get a car to the village.

Realising that it was late indeed, she reluctantly accepted the offer but refused to share his bed.

Rather, she chose to make herself comfortable in a sofa in the living room.

The American volunteer, for obvious reasons, refused every attempt by Akamah to have her share his bed until the later gave up and went to bed.

However, while his guest lay in the sofa fast asleep, Akamah like a preying lion pounced on her for sexual favours, but that was not going to come easy.

The two science teachers got entangled in a serious battle until the stronger person won.

Akamah eventually had his way as his guest could not resist any more. So Akamah managed to satisfy his burning sexual desire.

Alas she asked to be excused to urinate as the washroom was outside the room.

She, however, ceased the opportunity to get on the next available bus to Accra where she reported the incident at the American Embassy.

She was hosted and taken to the hospital, treated and discharged.

After two weeks, when she had somehow recovered from the trauma, a delegation from the embassy stormed the Brekumanso L/A JHS where they arrested and handed Akamah over to the Asamankese Police for further investigation.

The suspect is said to have been involved in such illicit act with some of his students.

He has always had his way because parents were either too scared to report him to the appropriate authorities or settled the issues at home.

His cup, however, became full when he decided to do same to his Obroni colleague.

Most of his pupils, who had been his victims, are said to be exceedingly excited over his arrest and are waiting for the great day of judgement when he would be finally incarcerated for all the hurt he had caused them.

A police source said the suspect made his second appearance in the Asamankese Magistrate Court on Thursday May 2, 2013 and was remanded in police custody to reappear in a week’s time.
