The Accra Regional Police Command has arrested two women in connection with the alleged assault of a 12-year-old girl near La Roman Junior High School on 30 December 2025.
According to a statement issued by the Regional Public Affairs Unit of the Ghana Police Service, the incident was reported by the victim’s mother, who arrived at the station with her daughter bearing visible signs of physical abuse. The complainant alleged that three women attacked her daughter without provocation.
Police investigations revealed that the assault followed an earlier altercation between the victim and a seven-year-old boy, identified as Horm Giftan Mesopeh, who is related to the suspects. The suspects allegedly took the girl from her home to their residence, where the assault occurred.
On 31 December, police arrested two of the suspects—Precious Giftan Mesopeh, 22, and Princess Giftan Mesopeh, 25—after being led to them by the complainant. A third suspect, Priscilla Novishie Wornyo, 49, a fashion designer and mother of the two arrested women, is reported to have travelled to the Volta Region and is yet to be apprehended.
The arrested suspects have been charged and are currently in police custody assisting with investigations. They are expected to appear before court on Monday, 5 January.
The Police Command cautioned the public against using violence to resolve disputes, especially those involving children. It urged parents and guardians to seek lawful means of addressing grievances and to report incidents promptly to the authorities.
