- The victim’s statement has also been taken, and a police medical report form has been issued to the family for the victim’s examination.
- Two suspects have been arrested, cautioned, and detained to assist with police investigations.
- Intensified efforts are underway to apprehend the remaining suspects in the defilement case.
Legal and Psychological Support Mobilized for Victim
As part of his efforts to support the rights of children, Hon. Sosu disclosed that he and other lawyers have decided to offer their services to hold a criminal watching brief on behalf of the victim.
He added that the statement was crucial “since it was about a minor defiled by 18 people. This issue cannot be allowed to be swept away,” Hon. Sosu stated. Furthermore, the Medical Director of Pantang Hospital has been contacted to provide the necessary psychological support for the victim.
