A 34-year-old farmer is in the custody of the Eastern Regional Police Command for allegedly killing a young man he suspected of sexually harassing his (farmer’s) niece.
The incident occurred when the farmer, Samuel Obeng Ofori, on his way to his farm in the morning, saw three brothers allegedly making frantic attempts to rape his niece.
Enraged by what she considered an attempted rape of the girl, who was on her way to school at the time, Ofori was said to have fired at the three, killing Frank Fordji Ajololo, one of the three men, on the spot.
The other two brothers were said to have taken to their heels.
According to the Eastern Regional Police Commander, DCOP Ransford Ninson, in the early morning of Tuesday, November 23, 2010, the relatives of Oforiwaa gave a crate of minerals to her to send to somebody in her school.
On her way to the school, the three brothers approached her and seized the crate of minerals after which they attempted to rape her.
In a bid to free herself from the grips of her captors, the girl screamed, which attracted some of the residents of the area to her rescue.
Incidentally, her uncle, Ofori, who was also on his way to his farm, arrived at the scene and saw the ensuing struggle between her niece and the three young men. He allegedly fired at them, killing Frank Ajololo in the process.
He was said to have later gone to the police station to report himself and is currently in police custody assisting in investigation.
The body of the deceased, Frank Ajololo, has been deposited at the morgue of the Suhum Government Hospital for autopsy.
