The first accused person, Sumaila Atta, was charged with stealing a child and subsequently murdering her.

Daniel Chimaobi, the second accused person, was charged with abetment of stealing a child and abetment of murder.

Following the proceedings, the court ordered that both accused persons be remanded into police custody pending further investigations.

The court also directed the prosecutor, Detective Inspector Daniel Ansah, to ensure that the case docket is forwarded to the Attorney-General’s Department for advice.

The case was adjourned to November 9, 2026, to allow the prosecution to comply with the court’s directive and await advice from the Attorney-General’s Department.

The incident has reportedly left residents of Sefwi Awaso fearful and anxious, particularly given the age of the victim.

The circumstances surrounding the alleged crime are expected to become clearer as investigations continue.

The two suspects remain accused persons, and the charges against them are yet to be determined by the court.
