Police identify Legon ‘woman thief’ molesters

The Legon Police command says it has identified some students of the University of Ghana who stripped naked and molested a young lady suspected of stealing a laptop at one of the halls of residence.

The police are however unable to pick up the students as they wait for the university authorities to assist in arresting them.

The police plan to storm the university to arrest the students themselves should authorities of the university, delay in handing them over.

Crime Officer at the Legon Police, ASP Emmanuel Basin-Tale told Citi News “arresting the students is not necessarily a challenge but because they are students we just want to go through the school authorities before picking them”.

Some male students of the Mensah Sarbah Hall annex B of the University of Ghana arrested the alleged thief, Amina, on the dawn of Thursday March 31 at about 3:00am for allegedly stealing a laptop and other gadgets belonging to a female student of the mixed hall.

Instead of handing her over to the University police, the students, many of whom are males, stripped her naked and physically abused her. The assault was recorded on video.

ASP Emmanuel Basin-Tale indicated that the police were working with the authorities of the university to get the affected students to turn themselves in “but if we realize that they (university authorities)are delaying, we can go ahead and pick them up, nothing stops us”.

“The school is aware of what is going on so if we pick them, it shouldn’t surprise them,” he added.
