The Accra Regional Police Command has arrested two women in connection with the alleged assault of a 12-year-old girl at the La Roman JHS School area in Accra.
In a press release issued by the Regional Public Affairs Unit of the Ghana Police Service on December 4, 2026, the incident occurred on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, and was reported by the mother of the victim, who visited the police station with her daughter bearing visible marks of assault.
The complainant alleged that her daughter was attacked by three women without any provocation.
Upon receiving the complaint, police obtained a formal statement and issued a Police Medical Report Form to the victim to undergo medical examination.
Preliminary investigations revealed that earlier on the same day, the victim had an altercation with a seven-year-old boy, identified as Horm Giftan Mesopeh, who is related to the suspects.
Police say the suspects allegedly went to the victim’s house after the incident, took her to their residence, and assaulted her.
On Wednesday, December 31, 2025, the complainant led police to the arrest of two of the suspects, identified as Precious Giftan Mesopeh, aged 22, and Princess Giftan Mesopeh, aged 25.
The third suspect, identified as Priscilla Novishie Wornyo, aged 49, a fashion designer and mother of the two arrested persons, is said to have travelled to the Volta Region.
Police say efforts are underway to locate and arrest her to assist with investigations.
The two arrested suspects have since been formally charged and are currently in police custody, assisting with investigations.
They are expected to be put before the court on Monday, January 5.
The Accra Regional Police Command has cautioned the public against resorting to violence in the resolution of disputes, especially those involving children.
Parents, guardians and community members have been urged to use lawful means to address grievances and to promptly report incidents to the police.
The Command further called on the public to respect the law and uphold the rights and welfare of children at all times.
