A 36-year-old man, Kofi Zigah, has been sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment with hard labour for impregnating his 15-year-old daughter.
The sentence was given by the Circuit Court at Tokor in the Ketu South Municipality, presided over by Mr Joseph Ofosu Behome The convict, who is also an electrician residing at Adoteykope, a suburb of Aflao, defiled his teenage daughter on two occasions, resulting in the pregnancy. He pleaded guilty to the charge of defilement and was jailed accordingly. Police Inspector Albert Kombor, prosecuting, narrated to the court that the complainant, Miss Faustina Elikplim Korwu, who is the Assembly member for Avoeme West Electoral Area, on May 01, 2025, led the victim to lodge a complaint at the Aflao Police Station, which led to the convict's arrest. Inspector Albert Kombor told the court that one evening in February 2025, while celebrating his birthday, the convict gave the victim a non-alcoholic beverage.
Shortly after consuming it, the girl fell asleep.
When she awoke, she discovered a dried whitish substance on her lap and in her underwear.
