C/R: Man Arrested For Assaulting Four Year Old Stepson

The Domestic Violence and the Victims Support Unit DOVVSU of the Kasoa police command has arrested Wisdom Godwin, a Nigerian national who lives at the Gomoa Budumbram in the Central Region for subjecting his 4years old stepson to severe beatings. According to Blessing Rinos, wife of the suspect also a Nigerian, the

suspect has consistently been subjecting the lad to severe beatings with a recent one resulting in the child going into a coma, a situation that triggered her action to report her husband to the police. In a conversation with the victim’s mother, she said the lad had blood oozing from some parts of his body as a result of the

beatings leaving the poor boy with wounds on his back. Commander of the Kasoa DOVVSU, ASP Doris Aggrey Laryea who confirmed the assault said it took the intervention of arresting officers to save the suspect from an angry mob who were already lashing the latter too for his unguided conduct against the lad. She said,

the suspect was rescued and subsequently arrested and has since been kept in police custody and assisting in investigations. She hinted that Godwin would soon be arraigned before court. ASP Doris Aggrey Laryea charged women whose children are being subjected to various forms of maltreatment by their husbands to report such incidents to the police as soon as possible for police assistance.
