A commercial motor rider has been charged with abduction and defilement after allegedly detaining a minor for three days in Accra.
Abel Ansah appeared before an Accra Circuit Court with his legal team on charges that he abducted and sexually assaulted the girl on August 23, 2025. He pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors told the court that the victim’s family filed a missing persons report after she failed to return home for several days. The Missing Persons Unit later located the girl and handed her over to investigators.
Further investigations revealed that Ansah had allegedly been in contact with the minor and had sent her transport money before the incident, the prosecution claimed.
A medical examination was conducted, and the report has been submitted to the police.
Ansah was arrested on September 3, 2025, after being picked up by the Missing Persons Unit. He reportedly gave a caution statement to investigators.
The court granted him bail set at GH₵100,000 with two sureties and directed the prosecution to file and serve disclosures and witness statements on both the court and the defence.
The case has been adjourned to November 27 for a case management conference.
