A landlord is in police custody following an accusation of defiling a 10-year-old girl. The alleged incident took place last week in the Madina area.
The young girl is said to be a resident of the landlord's house. Details about how the alleged defilement occurred have not yet been fully disclosed.
The Ghana Police Service has taken the suspect into custody. An investigation into the serious allegations is underway.
A court has since remanded the landlord. This means he will remain in police custody while the investigation continues.
The court appearance followed a police report and an application to detain the suspect. The Judicial Service did not provide further details on the hearing.
This case highlights the importance of child protection and the legal measures in place to address such crimes.
The investigation aims to gather all necessary evidence to determine the facts of the case.
Authorities urge anyone with information related to this incident to assist the police.
