The incident, Alfred Amoh said, happened around 4:00 PM Wednesday, but the Ghana National Fire service rescue team got to the scene 9:00 PM and were only successful in removing the body at about 11:30 PM.
There is currently a trading of accusation and counter-accusation between the 14-year-old sister of the deceased and her grandmother regarding the girl’s death.
While some information claim the girl’s sister placed her on the well as she fetched water from it, the sister also claims it was their grandmother who did so.
