Information gathered by Adom News suggested that the suspect, identified as Opanyin Kwame Otopa, committed the act in his farm.

This was after he invited the victim and two young men to assist him on his farm.

Opanin Otopa, upon reaching the farm, reportedly sent the two young men to get food from town, leaving the girl behind.

After their departure, he is said to have wrapped the victim’s mouth with a piece of cloth and had multiple sex with her.

Opanin Otopa, after committing the act, assisted her home but threatened to kill her should she tell anyone about what happened in the bush.
