AAMUSTED level 100 university student remanded in custody over defilement allegation

The Asante Akropong circuit court in the Atwima Nwabiagya North district has remanded a level 100 university student into prison custody for allegedly defiling a 13-year-old girl at Tanoso, in the Kwadaso Municipality.

Raynus Ofori Mensah, a student of the Apenteng Appiah Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED), pleaded not guilty to the charge of defilement.

He, however, told the court that he had been in a relationship with the victim for the past four months.

He will reappear before the court presided over by Gloria Mensah Bonsu on 8 December 2025.

Police Chief Inspector Ruth Gborson, prosecuting, told the court that the accused was a level 100 student of the Apenten Appiah- Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED) and a resident of Tanoso where the victim also lived with her mother and twin brother.

She said the complainant, Joana Gifty Mensah, who is the mother of the victim, is a trader, while the victim is a JHS two pupil in a school where the accused used to teach.

The Prosecution explained that on December 20, this year, the complainant left behind the victim and her twin brother to take care of her shop, while she travelled to transact business at the Kumasi Kejetia market.

She said at about 1100 hours, the accused went and bought bread from the shop.

Chief Inspector Gborson said moment after, the accused returned to the shop and sent the victim to go and collect a glue gun from his friend at the AAMUSTED campus and send the same to his house and the victim obeyed.

According to the prosecution, the accused followed and lured the victim into his room, forcibly having sexual intercourse with her and in the process, she bled profusely and felt dizzy.

The accused cleaned the blood with tissue and gave her paracetamol, but the blood didn’t stop and due to the excessive bleeding, she fell unconscious, so the accused hired a tricycle and took her to a hospital at Apatrapa, a community in the area.

The prosecution told the court that when the complainant returned, she met only the twin brother at the shop and asked about the whereabouts of the victim.

She was informed that the accused came to the shop and sent her.

The complainant then collected the accused person’s number and called him to find out.

According to the prosecution, the accused told the complainant that he saw the victim bleeding on the campus of AAMUSTED and had taken her to a hospital.

The complainant rushed to the hospital and saw the accused with blood in his sandals and the victim was responding to treatment.

The complainant reported the matter to the Abuakwa police, and the accused was arrested.

In his caution statement, he admitted to having sexual intercourse with the victim and after further police investigation, he was charged and brought before the court.
