The Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service, has arrested a 35-year-old self-styled coach, John Aidoo at Ankaful, near Cape Coast, for influencing three children all boys to suck his manhood with the assurance that it will boost their intellectual prowess. Aidoo, who claims to be a pastor, was arrested on Wednesday, based on information received from one of his victims and handed over to the police by the elders of the town. The Central Regional Co-ordinator of DOVVSU, DSP George Appiah-Sekyi told The Ghanaian Times that het incident involving the three boys, aged between eight and 11 years occurred on separate occasions where the suspect who, under the pretext of teaching them how to play football, carried out his diabolical act. He explained that Aidoo, after luring his victims into his room, forced them to drink what he claimed to be oil after which he made them suck his manhood to �increase their intellectual acumen.� He said the victims sucked his manhood until he discharged semen into their mouths after which he warned them not to disclose it to anybody. DSP Appiah-Sekyi said one of his victims who was playing with another child, referred to him as somebody who had been sucking the manhood of the suspect. He said the mother of the victim, who was standing nearby and overhead the conversation between the two children, called her son and inquired about the incident, only to be told that the incident was true and that it had been going on for some time now. A report was therefore made to the chief of Ankaful who invited the suspect, but he could not defend his action. The police, DSP Appiah-Sekyi said, was informed about the incident by the chief and the suspect was arrested. He suspects that here could be more victims but only three had come forward to testify about their ordeal. Aidoo, when interrogated, denied the accusation by the three victims. He said that the police had preferred the charges of unnatural carnal knowledge, abduction and indecent assault against the suspect who would be arraigned before Circuit Court today.
