A court in Accra has ordered a man to stay in police custody. The man is 28 years old. He is accused of a serious crime against a child.
The alleged crime happened in Ashiaman. The victim is an 8-year-old girl. She was reportedly led into a building that had not been finished.
The Accra Circuit Court heard the case. It ruled that the man should be remanded. This means he will stay with the police while investigations continue.
This is a sensitive matter. The police are continuing their work to understand exactly what happened.
The court proceedings are part of the legal process in Ghana. Justice will be pursued.
