In a swift response to public outrage, the Ghana Police Service has arrested a man who openly bragged about sexually abusing a minor.
The suspect, identified as Nana Poku Piesie, also known as Kwabena, had shared explicit details of his encounters with a 14-year-old girl during an interview on Sompo FM. He claimed to have had sexual relations with the victim from her sixth-grade year until she completed high school at Kumasi Academy.
“A few years ago, I engaged in sexual activity with a 14-year-old girl. Her father is a wealthy man in Dormaa Ahenkro. Now after my daughter also got to that level, I noticed one teacher had also started engaging her inappropriately, and so I complained about it to my wife, and then she reminded me of my past sin with the other girl. She asked what age the girl was when I had sex with her, and then I said she was about 14–15 years old. Then she asked me how I got hold of her. I said it was through extra classes and by the time I knew it, I had broken her virginity. And then my wife responded, do you know God has paid you back? I thought about it and told her she was right. The law of natural karma. It hurt me”
This shocking revelation sparked widespread condemnation, with renowned Ghanaian musician Sarkodie joining the calls for the suspect’s arrest.
In a social media post on Tuesday, July 16, the Ghana Police Service confirmed that they have apprehended the suspect and he is currently in custody, assisting with the ongoing investigation.
The police have assured the public that the suspect will face the full force of the law for his alleged crimes. This swift action by the authorities has been welcomed by the public, who had been demanding justice for the victim and accountability for the suspect’s actions.
