A Gender-Based Violence Court in Sekondi has remanded two suspects, Sulema Abdullah Rashid and Issah Morro, for allegedly tying up and severely caning a 12-year-old boy.
Appearing before Her Honour Mrs. Naa Armerley Akowuah, the accused were formally charged with child torture and causing harm. The court denied their request for bail, ordering that they remain in custody as investigations proceed.
The incident, described by authorities as deeply disturbing, has sparked outrage in the community. Details surrounding the motive or context of the assault have not yet been disclosed.
The case has been adjourned to July 10, 2025, when the suspects are expected to reappear in court.
