Victim being helped to walk
The Adontenhene of Assin Adiembra in the
Central Region, Nana Minta Ebu II has been
accused of allegedly defiling a 13-year old
primary 5 pupil.
The Benkumhene of the community Nana
Effisah Keteko I who disclosed the incident to
Adom News’ Alfred Amoh, said the suspect,
Nana Minta Ebu II took advantage of his only
fufu pounding machine in the community to
commit the heinous act.
He said the victim’s mother who is a chop bar
operator sent her to get the fufu prepared
with the pounding machine owned by the
suspect.
“Her mother sent her to go pound the fufu at
the man’s place and when the man realised
that no one was there he forced the girl into
his room and had sex with her” he stated.
He said the chief, who is in his 50s,
threatened the girl not to inform her parents
and promised to give her GHC 100 after the
act.
According to him, when the suspect failed to
give the money to her, the victim who is said
to have been a virgin then decided to spill the
beans to her parents.
The victim (name withheld) narrating her
ordeal to Alfred Amoh said several attempts
to scream for help during the act proved futile
“because the chief covered my mouth very
tight to prevent me from shouting” she said.

The chief after interrogation admitted to his
crime and has agreed to compensate the girl
with GHC1500.
But the youth of the area say elders
impregnate girls and the girls accuse them
(the youth) of being responsible for the
pregnancy.
They are threatening to demonstrate against
the chiefs for taking their girls.
The youth have sworn to disrespect all the
chiefs if they still uphold that chief as one of
them.
The chiefs of the area say he will be destooled
very soon.
