A Ghanaian pupil teacher named Edward Ekuadzi has been sentenced to 10 years in prison with hard labour for raping his daughter.
Ekuadzi, aged 36, was found guilty of raping his daughter aged 17, in their living room at Awakorme in the Volta Region of Ghana. He is a teacher at Aflao, a border town in the Volta Region.
The disgraced father
appeared before the Denu Circuit Court on May 2, 2025, where he pleaded guilty to the charge.
The prosecution disclosed that the complainant, Christy Kwau, is a trader and biological mother of the victim (name withheld).
According to the prosecution, the complainant reported the case after her daughter confided in her about the abuse.
Ekuadzi and the complainant are divorced, and the victim, a Senior High School student, had lived with the convict since infancy.
On April 22, 2025, at around 10:00 a.m., the victim went to her mother in Sepenukope and refused to return to her father’s home.
When questioned, she revealed that Ekuadzi had forcibly had sexual intercourse with her on two occasions—once in March 2025 at around 4:20 a.m., and again on April 17, 2025, at about 4:30 a.m. He had threatened her with death if she disclosed the abuse.
Following the victim’s account, the complainant reported the case at the Aflao Police Station, where authorities issued a medical form for the victim to undergo an examination at a hospital.
Ekuadzi was arrested and interrogated on April 30, 2025, and he confessed to sexually abusing his daughter on three occasions.
