A 14-year-old girl, Theresa Adomako Asiedu is battling life at the AGA Hospital in Obuasi in the Ashanti region after an acid bath from a 16-year-old girl over a mobile phone.
The sad incident occurred at Akrokere in the Adansi North district of the Ashanti region after the 16-year-old offered her phone as a collateral for a GH¢50.00 loan.
In an interview with Adom News, father of Theresa, Mr Justice Adomako Asiedu explained he warned his daughter to return the phone but she refused.

Meanwhile, Dr Kwadwo Anim, Senior Medical Officer, AGA Health Foundation, has assured the girl is responding to treatment.
