The Accra Regional Police Command has arrested two women in connection with the alleged assault of a 12-year-old girl at the La Roman JHS area in Accra.
The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, was reported by the victim’s mother, who visited the police station with her daughter bearing visible marks of assault. The complainant alleged that her daughter was attacked by three women without provocation.
Following the report, police took a formal statement from the complainant and issued a Police Medical Report Form to the victim for medical examination.
Preliminary investigations revealed that earlier the same day, the victim had an altercation with a seven-year-old boy, Horm Giftan Mesopeh, who is related to the suspects.
Police say the suspects later went to the victim’s house, brought her to their residence, and allegedly assaulted her.
On Wednesday, December 31, 2025, the complainant led police to arrest two of the suspects, identified as Precious Giftan Mesopeh, aged 22, and Princess Giftan Mesopeh, aged 25.
A third suspect, Priscilla Novishie Wornyo, aged 49, a fashion designer and mother of the two arrested persons, is said to have travelled to the Volta Region and is currently at large.
The two suspects have been formally charged and are currently in police custody assisting investigations.
They are expected to be put before court on Monday, January 5, 2025, while efforts continue to locate and arrest the third suspect.
The Accra Regional Police Command has cautioned the public against resorting to violence, especially in disputes involving children, and urged parents and guardians to use lawful means in resolving grievances and to protect the rights and welfare of children at all times.
