A 12-year-old girl has been bathed with acid and defiled after her father accused her of being a witch.
According to reports, her father, Frederick Nartey, 41 who blamed her for his failure in life sent her to a shrine to be exorcised.

But the fetish priestess Akua Yeboah rather mixed acid and some herbs and rubbed it on the young girl including her private parts.
This unfortunate incident occurred at Gomoa Antseadze in the Central region Monday.
Narrating her ordeal to Adom News’ Kofi Adjei, the young girl said she was defiled by some men at the shrine as part of the process to drive away the evil spirits.
Due to the acid in the concoction, the young girl suffered burns all over her body and was rushed to the St. Gregory Hospital by a Good Samaritan.
A nurse at the hospital who received the young girl said she was quickly rushed to the emergency ward for treatment.
“When we examined her, she saw blood oozing out of her private part so we asked her and she said some men had sex with her to drive away the evil spirits”.
But for the intervention of doctors at the facility, the nurse said the young girl would have lost her life.

Kasoa District DOVVSU Commander, DSP Florence Anaman confirmed the arrest of the suspects to Adom News noting that they have begun investigation into the matter.
