Police manhunt for a 60-year-old man accused of defiling a 12-year-old girl in Twifo Atti Morkwa District.

A 12-year-old pupil of Twifo Neamakurom D/A Basic School in the Twifo Atti Morkwa District of the Central Region is fighting for her life after allegedly being defiled by a 60-year-old suspect, Yaw Oboobi.

According to eyewitnesses, Yaw Oboobi, who is married with three children, allegedly defiled the young girl in his bedroom at Twifo Neamakurom.

After the incident, the girl’s behavior changed, prompting questions from her family members. Initially, the girl was quiet, but later confirmed that Yaw Oboobi had slept with her and given her 5 Ghana cedis to keep the incident a secret.

The committee members of Twifo Neamakurom and the girl’s family members took her to the Twifo Atti Morkwa District Hospital, where a doctor confirmed that the girl had been defiled.

The case has been reported to the Twifo Atti Morkwa DOVVSU (Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit), and the police are currently searching for Yaw Oboobi. The Twifo Atti Morkwa District Police Commander, Superintendent Charles Addei Boateng, and the DOVVSU are investigating the matter and urge the public to provide any information that may lead to the arrest of the suspect.
