The officer, identified as Desmond Owusu Afriyie, is currently under investigation by the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) in the Agona District.
According to a statement issued by the Ashanti North Regional Police Command on May 9, the complaint was filed on November 4, 2025, by Charlotte Samaa of Koforidua in the Eastern Region on behalf of her daughter.
