Toilet toll collector arrested for defiling 11-year-old girl

Kpando, Sept. 26, GNA- The Kpando police is holding a public toilet toll collector, Kwesi Sakpaku, 47, alias 'agbo' for allegedly defiling an eleven year-old class three pupil, when she went to the toilet. Sakpatey, who was alleged to have defiled the girl inside the toilet, would be arraigned before Court on September 27, this year.

Mr William Akpesey, Kpando District Police Commander, who briefed the Ghana News Agency, said Sakpaku defiled the girl on September 23, at about 1930 hours when she went to the place of convenience. He said the suspect exploited the quietness of the place and followed the victim to the female department of the public latrine, pinned her to the wall and forcibly defiled her.

Mr Akpesey said the victim on reaching home reported the incident to her father, who later arrested Sakpaku and sent him to the Police. He said the victim was issued with a Police medical form to attend hospital, while investigations continue.
