The official bodyguard of Ghana's Communications Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah has allegedly impregnated a 12-year-old girl, Starrfmonline.com has gathered.

The officer, Lance Corporal Emmanuel Bartels, with strong family ties to the popular Bartels family impregnated the minor some seven months ago.

He allegedly defiled the victim three times.

Attempts by the victim’s family to get the police service to punish the erring officer have been disregarded, a source familiar with the development has intimated to StarrFMonline.com.

The source also revealed that there are clandestine efforts by some powerful people in society and the police service to cover up the crime.

Meanwhile, human rights lawyer Francis Sosu is set to hold a press conference on the matter on Thursday July 23, 2015. The media briefing is intended to mount pressure on the police service to investigate the matter and allow justice to prevail.
