The suspects, identified as Precious Giftan Mesopeh, 22, and Princess Giftan Mesopeh, 25, are alleged to have assaulted the victim following an earlier altercation between the girl and a seven-year-old boy, Horm Giftan Mesopeh, on the same day.
A statement signed by Superintendent Juliana Obeng, Head of Public Affairs of the Accra Region, said the suspects allegedly went to the victim’s house, took her to their residence, and assaulted her.

The complainant alleged that her daughter was assaulted without provocation by three women.
Upon receiving the complaint, the Police took a statement from the complainant and issued a Police Medical Report Form to the victim for medical examination.

The statement said they would be arraigned before court on Monday, January 5, 2026.
