A man is in jail after being accused of a serious crime against a young girl. The man is 35 years old.

The incident allegedly happened in Kwabenya. A 10-year-old girl is the alleged victim.

The Accra Circuit Court heard the case. Judges decided the man should stay in jail for now.

This decision was made while police continue their work investigating the matter. No bail was granted to the accused.

The court did not give a final decision on his guilt. This is because the investigation is still happening.

Further steps will be taken in the legal process after the police finish their work.
