A 35-year-old man is in custody after appearing before an Accra Circuit Court. He faces serious charges related to the alleged defilement of an 8-year-old girl.
The incident reportedly occurred in Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti Region. The court heard details of the alleged crime during the proceedings.
The accused was arrested by the police last week in connection with the matter. He was brought before the court seeking his remand.
The court has ordered that the man be remanded. This means he will stay in custody while the investigation continues.
Further details about the case will be revealed as it progresses through the legal system.
The Ghana Police Service is handling the investigation into the alleged defilement.
