Two women who allegedly assaulted a 12-year-old girl at the La Roman JHS School area in Accra have been arrested.
The incident occurred on Tuesday, December 30, and was reported by the victim’s mother, who went to the police station with her daughter bearing visible marks of assault. The complainant told police that her child was attacked by three women “without any provocation.”
The police said that after receiving the complaint, officers took a statement from the mother and issued a Police Medical Report Form to the victim for medical examination.
Preliminary investigations revealed that earlier on the same day, the 12-year-old girl had been involved in an altercation with a seven-year-old boy, identified as Horm Giftan Mesopeh, who is related to the suspects. Police stated that following the incident, the suspects allegedly went to the victim’s house, took her to their residence, and assaulted her.
On Wednesday, December 31, the complainant led police to arrest two of the suspects, identified as Precious Giftan Mesopeh, aged 22, and Princess Giftan Mesopeh, aged 25.
The third suspect, Priscilla Novishea Wornyo, aged 49, a fashion designer and mother of the two arrested women, was reported to have travelled to the Volta Region.
“The two arrested suspects have been formally charged and are currently in police custody, assisting with investigations,” the statement said, adding that they are expected to be arraigned before court on Monday, January 5, 2026.
