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 on Tuesday, December 30, 2025.
The case was reported by the victim’s mother, who visited the police station with her daughter, who had visible marks of assault. The complainant alleged that three women attacked the child without provocation.
Following the report, police took statements from the complainant and issued a Police Medical Report Form to the victim to enable medical examination.
Preliminary investigations revealed that earlier on the same day, the victim had been involved in an altercation with a seven-year-old boy, identified as Horm Giftan Mesopeh, who is related to the suspects. Police say the suspects later went to the victim’s home, took her to their residence, and allegedly assaulted her.
On Wednesday, December 31, 2025, the complainant assisted police in arresting Precious Giftan Mesopeh, aged 22, and Princess Giftan Mesopeh, aged 25.
A third suspect, identified as Priscilla Novishie Wornyo, aged 49, a fashion designer and the mother of the two arrested women, was reported to have travelled to the Volta Region and is currently at large.
The two suspects have been formally charged and are in police custody, assisting with investigations. They are expected to be arraigned before the court on Monday, January 5, 2026. Police say efforts are ongoing 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. Parents, guardians, and community members are urged to use lawful means to resolve conflicts and to protect the rights and welfare of children at all times.
