A 14-year-old Junior High School (JHS) graduate is under mental health supervision after being defiled by an undertaker, Exekel Tabiri, at Dormaa Akwamu, in the Bono Region.
Tabiri, who is suspected to be in his mid-30s, also known as ‘One Day’, allegedly lured the victim into his room under the guise of delivering a gift to her mother. Once inside, he placed a bangle-style charm on her wrist and forcefully raped her.
He is said to have later warned the victim never to tell anyone, else she would die, and gave her GH¢50.
The mother of the victim narrated that since the incident on June 7, 2026, at about 8 p.m., the victim has remained mentally unstable.
“I sent my child on an errand to buy water that fateful night, but she failed to return home early. She later came and slept after delivering the water. The next day, I noticed an unusual change in her behaviour. When she was questioned, she narrated her ordeal in the hands of Exekel Tabiri, who was my classmate and a church member of my husband,” she disclosed.
ASP Irene Danso, who is in charge of the Dormaa Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DVVSU), confirmed the alleged case explaining that the suspect has been in their custody but has since appeared before the Dormaa and Nkrankwanta courts, and has been granted bail to re-appear at a later date in July.
