The prosecution said the complainant’s neighbor known as Mr. Kwadwo Koranteng, who was then in his shop at Nsamampon, identified the victim and called Aisha, who was then carrying her.
When the complainant quizzed the convict as to where she was sending the victim, Aisha informed Mr. Koranteng that, the victim was her daughter and that she (Victim) had been living with her father who is a taxi driver, but he was not taking good care of her.
The prosecution said the victim’s elder brother and parents came around and the accused was arrested and escorted to the Domestic Violence and Victim’s Support Unit (DOVVSU), Madina, where a formal complaint was lodged.
