The Nsuaem Police in the Western Region have arrested a 45-year-old father for allegedly burning the private part of his 15-year-old daughter.

Benyah Nyera Nda, a farmer known as ‘Rasta’, lived with his four children, including the victim, in a hamlet at Nkwanta, on the Agona Nkwanta-Nsuaem road.

The victim was tasked with selling cassava from her father’s farm daily.

According to sources in the community, Benya started complaining that his daughter would return home late any time she went to the market to sell cassava.

“So on Sunday, the father confronted the daughter, who denied having a boyfriend at the market. But the father told her he would destroy her ‘vagina’ so that she could not have sexual intercourse with anybody at the market.

“The father then tied the girl’s hands at her back and put the two cutlasses he used at the farm in fire, and when they were hot, inserted them into the girl’s private part one after the other,” the source said.

After he burnt her with the hot cutlasses, the father insisted that the victim go with them to the farm on Tuesday, April 2, 2024.

The source disclosed that the teenager managed to escape from her father.

A woman later found her writhing in pain.

The woman reported the incident to the security man at a nearby organisation, who took the victim into his custody.

Speaking to journalists, the security man, Simon Enor, said after hearing the girl’s story, he took her to the Nsuaem Government Hospital and reported the case to the police.

The police went with the security man to the victim’s village and arrested the suspect, who admitted to burning his daughter.

He insisted to the police that he only punished his daughter for coming home late from the market.

Mr Enor stated that upon further questioning, Benyah Nyera Nda confessed to fathering the four children with four different women and decided to care for them all by himself in the small village.

He noted that all the children; one girl, and three boys were not in school.

He said he had managed to locate the mothers of two children, who also claimed they do not have the means to take care of the children.

Meanwhile, the police are investigating the case, after which they may hand over the children to an appropriate body to help take good care of them.
