Five Nigerians who raped a woman
in the course of their robbery operation at Community 25 in Tema have been
arrested by the Prampram Divisional Police Command.
The suspects were apprehended
after being on the police wanted list for some time. Their modus operandi is
attacking mobile money vendors, mostly women in their house with machetes and
guns and raping them after taking away their valuables.
Confirming the incident, Chief
Superintendent Cecilia Arko, Crime Officer of the Prampram Divisional Police
Command, narrated that barely a month ago, four among the five suspects
attacked a couple at their residence at about 3:00 am.
According to Arko, the suspects who
were aiming at a mobile money vendor, mistakenly went to the house of the
couple and held them hostage before demanding for money and valuables.
For the
couple’s inability to provide what they wanted, Chief Superintendent Arko noted
one of the suspects angrily sent their female victim to one of the rooms where
he removed her underwear and forcibly hard sex with her while his accomplices
filmed the odious act with a cell phone.
The Crime Officer indicated that
last Thursday, the couple were walking in the neighbourhood when the female
victim spotted the suspect who removed his mask before filming the act, adding
that she quickly alerted the husband who confronted the suspect on the
street.
However, according to her, the
suspect decided to take to his heels upon seeing the couple but the male victim
managed to raise alarm which attracted neighbours who apprehended the suspect
and handed him over to the police station.
She further said when the suspect
was interrogated, he admitted the offence and further led the police to their
hideout in the area where his accomplices were also arrested including the gang
leader who brought the suspects from Nigeria to Ghana to do criminal activities
such as internet fraud and armed robbery.
