\u201cShe tells me that they live opposite the club house and on that particular day of the incident, her parents were not at home so the suspect lured her to his room and subjected her to that indecent act. He even tore her dresses and refused to listen to her pleas,\u201d he indicated.<\/p>\n
Wofa Boah, the father of the victim, indicated that someone saw the player luring her daughter into his room and reported the case to him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was informed about the incident by someone because I was not home on that particular day. My daughter also confirmed it to me and medical examinations have suggested she has developed cuts on her private part. I\u2019m pained because I never expected this to happen to me. I want the law to take its natural course,\u201d he indicated.<\/p>\n
