A court in Accra has ordered a 28-year-old man to be held in custody. This is because he is accused of defiling an 8-year-old girl.
The alleged incident took place in the Ga East Municipality. Police are investigating the details.
The Accra Circuit Court made the decision to remand the suspect. He will remain in custody while police continue their work.
This legal action follows accusations of a serious crime against a child.
The court's order allows investigators more time to gather evidence.
Further proceedings will depend on the outcome of the police investigation.
