According to a police statement issued on Wednesday, December 4, 2025, the incident occurred on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, and was reported by the mother of the victim, who brought her daughter to the police station with visible marks of assault.
The complainant alleged that her daughter was attacked by three women without provocation.
Police said preliminary investigations revealed that earlier on the same day, the victim had an altercation with a seven-year-old boy identified as Horm Giftan Mesopeh, who is related to the suspects.
Following the disagreement, the suspects allegedly went to the victim’s residence, took her to their home, and assaulted her.

A third suspect, Priscilla Novisla Wornyo, aged 49, a fashion designer and the mother of the two arrested women, is said to have travelled to the Volta Region.
The arrested suspects have been formally charged and are currently in police custody, assisting with investigations.
They are expected to be arraigned before court on Monday, January 5, 2025, while efforts are underway to locate and arrest the third suspect.
The Accra Regional Police Command has cautioned the public against using violence to resolve disputes, especially those involving children, and urged parents and community members to seek lawful means of addressing grievances while protecting the rights and welfare of children.
