The Accra Regional Police Command has arrested two women in connection with the alleged assault of a 12-year-old girl in the La Roman JHS School area, following a complaint lodged by the victim’s mother.
According to a police statement, the incident occurred on Tuesday, December 30, 2025. The mother reported the case after bringing her daughter, who had visible marks of assault, to the police station. She alleged that three women attacked her daughter without provocation.
“The complainant alleged that three women assaulted her daughter,” the police said, noting that officers promptly took the mother’s statement and issued a Police Medical Report Form for the child’s examination.
Preliminary investigations indicate that earlier that day, the 12-year-old girl had an altercation with a seven-year-old boy, who is related to the suspects. The situation reportedly escalated when the suspects went to the victim’s home, brought her to their residence, and assaulted her.
On Wednesday, December 31, 2025, police, accompanied by the complainant, arrested two of the suspects — 22-year-old Precious Giftan Mesopeh and 25-year-old Princess Giftan Mesopeh. Both are currently in custody and assisting with investigations.
The third suspect, 49-year-old Priscilla Novishie Wornyo, a fashion designer and mother of the arrested women, is reported to have travelled to the Volta Region. Police are actively seeking her to aid the ongoing investigation.
The two arrested suspects have been formally charged and are expected to appear in court on Monday, January 5, 2026.
The Accra Regional Police Command has urged the public to avoid violence, particularly in disputes involving children, and to resolve conflicts through lawful means. Parents, guardians, and community members were also reminded to protect the rights and welfare of children and report incidents promptly.
The case has sparked renewed discussion on child protection and the importance of non-violent conflict resolution within communities.
