Man Caught Peeping At Nude Girls

A 35-year-old taxi driver has been caught peeping at nude girls of the Accra Girls’ Senior High School while they were bathing. The man, whose name was only given as Nana Poku, was arrested by the Kotobabi Police in Accra over the weekend at the school’s premises as he was peeping through cracks in the girls’ bathroom.

A police source confirmed that the suspect admitted the offence in his caution statement and had since been granted police enquiry bail. The Headmistress of the school was reported as saying, the offence had been rampant of late but the culprits always bolted each time an alarm was raised.

However luck ran out on Nana Poku this time around and he was apprehended. The officer, who described the suspect as a ‘nice looking gentleman’, noted that he would be brought before court to face the consequences of his lewd act. The headmistress’ distress call which made a prominent headline in a national newspaper prompted the Nima Neighbourhood Watchdog Committee to call on her.

They promised supporting the school to stop the unacceptable act and occasional theft by miscreants who scaled the wall of the school.

Nana Poku, the suspect was traced to the Mamobi Polyclinic yesterday where he had gone for treatment following a complaint about breathlessness and bodily pains. He was spotted limping with the support of a walking stick when Daily Guide saw him at the polyclinic. His back bore scratches which he showed the Daily Guide undercover reporter while in the company of his mother and some siblings.

He told the police that he was beaten by the school’s security men who pursued and arrested him after spotting him in the act of peeping at the nude students of the Accra Girls’ Senior High School.

The school is bordered on the south by the sprawling suburb of Mamobi and Nima. With the walls not high enough to prevent miscreants from scaling it, the school might have to contend with the unacceptable actions for sometime to come. Next >
