She narrated further that, Chalipang subsequently sent her to Yawa, who he described as his boy and he also raped her for four consecutive days.
“After the four days, Yawa asked me whether I was schooling and I said yes. He then said to me that, he will tell Chalipang to send me home because he has completed Senior High School (SHS) and doesn’t want to destroy my education. Chalipang also defiled me and beat me before he took me on his motorbike and brought me to my area,” she said.
The case was reported to the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service in the municipality and the victim was given a medical form to visit a hospital for examination and report back to the police.
