The Accra Regional Police Command has arrested two women in connection with the alleged assault of a 12-year-old girl in the La Roman JHS School area, authorities have confirmed.
The incident reportedly took place on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, when the girl’s mother brought her to the police station, displaying visible marks of assault. According to the complainant, three women allegedly attacked her daughter without provocation.
Details of the incident
Preliminary investigations by the police revealed that earlier the same day, the girl had a minor altercation with a seven-year-old boy, Horm Giftan Mesopeh, who is related to the suspects. Following this, the women reportedly went to the girl’s home, took her to their residence, and allegedly assaulted her.
On Wednesday, December 31, 2025, two suspects—Precious Giftan Mesopeh (22) and Princess Giftan Mesopeh (25)—were arrested and formally charged. They are currently in police custody and are scheduled to appear in court on Monday, January 5, 2026.
The third suspect, Priscilla Novishie Wornyo (49), a fashion designer and mother of the two arrested women, is believed to have traveled to the Volta Region. Police say efforts are ongoing to locate her.
