A 14-year-old girl (name withheld) has been raped by four men at Ellembelle in the Western Region.

Narrating the harrowing incident on Ankobra FM Tuesday, the victim revealed that the men drugged her, took her to an undisclosed location, and raped her.

The ages of the perpetrators are 35, 25, 18 and 17. The case is currently being handled by the Esiama Police.

The incident occurred last Monday (15-01-18) at a party at Asenda, a small community within the Elelbelle district.

According to the girl, the last thing she saw at the party was a drink (Fanta) she was offered by one of the suspects.

“I woke up the next day and saw multiple blood stains on my underwear. I also felt severe pains in my vagina and abdomen,” the victim recalled.

She failed to narrate the ordeal to her mother because she (victim) did not want to be beaten for attending a party. She rather confided in a friend’s mother who informed her (victim) mother.

They later lodged a complaint with the Esiama Police Station. A subsequent examination at the Eikwe Hospital confirmed the incident.

Maa Gifty, mother of the victim said parents of three of the suspects visited her Monday evening (22-01-18) for an amicable solution, but she rejected the offer.

No arrest has been made so far even though the incident has been reported to the police.
