Vitus Nsore, a 24-year-old galamsey operator, alleged to have raped a 56-year-old woman in her room, has been remanded into police custody by the Tarkwa District Magistrate Court One.

His plea was not taken, and he will be in court on Friday, February 28, 2025.

Police Sergeant Douglas Addae, prosecuting, told the court presided over by Charles Owusu Nsiah that the complainant was a farmer and lived at Amoanda with Nsore.

He said on February 9, this year, around 0100 hours, the complainant was asleep in her room, but the entire community did not have electricity and was plunged into darkness due to a heavy rainstorm.
