However on Wednesday, reports from the Police and doctors indicated that the act could have been staged.
Addressing a press conference on Thursday, ASP Afia Tenge confirmed the arrest of the painter, saying “There have been several developments regarding this issue that has prompted the Police to arrest one person by name Nelson Williams alias Iddrisu, aged 18, profession: painter and a resident of Abossey Okai whose arrest was made about 10 pm same day.”
She said “the suspect has denied sexually assaulting the lady and that anything that happened on the said date indeed happened with the consent of the victim.”
Afia Tenge pointed out that since “the victim is presently in a traumatic condition” she was “unable to tell the Police her side of the story.”
She however said “the Police will have the opportunity to interrogate her further for a clearer picture of the incident” after she has been “examined both physically and mentally”
ASP Tenger further assured that the Police will apprehend all suspects involved in the incident.
“As such all suspects implicated in this conspiracy which tends to beat the imaginations of the average human mind will be arraigned.”
