A 35-year-old man named Kofi Mensah has appeared before the Accra Circuit Court.
He faces a serious charge of defiling a 9-year-old girl.
The court has decided to keep Mr Mensah in police custody.
This means he will remain in jail while the case progresses.
The judge ordered that Mr Mensah be brought back to court on June 10, 2024.
This is to allow for further legal proceedings in the case.
The details of the alleged defilement were presented to the court.
Further investigation into the matter is expected.
