Three students accused of rape allowed to finish WASSCE before police action

Akropong police commander Chief Superintendent Charles Kofi Adu told Citi the police will pick up the three accused to assist with investigations soon after the West African Examination Council (WASSCE).

Police said appropriate actions will be taken against the three after their exams.

Superintendent Adu said the alleged incident happened on May 9, between 10pm to 11pm, where the teenager girl said she was at the dormitory when her boyfriend, a form two student of Akuapeman High School visited her.

He said the two decided to go into the visual arts block to have sex.

They were spotted by three other, older students also from the Mampong Senior High School.

The commander named them as Benjamin Kortey, 18 years, David Obadai Okine, 19 years and Alex Kyei Boadi, now at large.

He said the three were allegedly holding canes and threatened to have sex with the victim or whip her and reveal the act to the school authorities.

"For fear of the threat, she gave in and all the guys slept with her in succession. While the act was going on, one of the students saw them and reported to another friend and they both came to rescue the victim."

He said the police had given the victim a medical form to go to the hospital for examination, Citi reported.
