Two brothers aged 32 and 27 respectively, have been banished from Gurugu a suburb in the Sagnarigu District of the Northern Region for allegedly defiling their 15-year-old step-sister.
Strangely, both suspects are married.
Amin Alabani is married with two wives and Mashud Alabani married with one and they have subsequently been disowned by their farther-Mba Alabani for their dastardly act.
The matter has since been reported to Katariga Kamo Naa who superintends spiritually over the area whose palace both confessed to committing the sacrilege.
The community was thrown into a state of shock at the weekend when the suspects were caught in the act in Mashud’s room.
Narrating her ordeal to a journalist with Tamale-based Zaa Radio, the victim said, she went to her step-brother’s (Amin’s) room a week ago to watch television when she was first defiled.
According to her, she fell asleep and her brothers forcefully had carnal knowledge of her in turns and later threatened her not to tell anyone about it.
But the victim later told her mother about the incident who doubted her claim accusing her of trying to peddle falsehood about her step-brothers to tarnish their reputation.
However, on March 12, 2016, Mashud sent the victim to buy fried yam for him at a close food joint with the intent of defiling her.
The victim indicated that on entering her brother’s room, she was once again pushed down and forcibly raped despite her screams for help.
The mother of the victim who is yet to come to terms with the incident said, she pounced on the suspect right in the act and broke down in tears.
The matter has not been reported to the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service, according to the Kamo Naa.
