A man accused of a serious crime appeared before a Kumasi Circuit Court. The court heard that the accused is 35 years old.
He is alleged to have defiled a 12-year-old girl. This happened in the Santasi area of Kumasi.
The court decided to keep the man in prison for now. He was not granted bail because of the nature of the charges.
Prosecutors presented the case against the man to the judge. The details of the allegations were discussed in court.
The court issued an order for the man to be remanded in custody. This means he will stay in prison until further notice.
His case has been postponed. He is expected to return to court next month for the next step in the legal process.
The Ghana Police Service is involved in the investigation. They are gathering evidence related to the alleged crime.
The legal system will continue to process the case. Justice will be sought for the young victim.
