Mason, 45, remanded over alleged defilement of two-year-old

The prosecution, led by Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) George Okrah Akomeah, told the court that the complainant, a 24-year-old trader and a relative of the accused, lived in the same compound house with him at Ogome.

According to the prosecution, on June 24, 2026, the complainant, who was unwell, left her two-year-old daughter playing in the compound with another child while she went to rest.

ASP Akomeah told the court that the accused was arrested later that day and, during investigations, allegedly stated that he committed the act because he believed the child had a spirit that needed to be removed.
