The Circuit Court Two in Cape Coast has sentenced Samuel Armah, also known as Koti Nyan, to 10 years imprisonment with hard labour for defilement.
The case, which was called on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, involved an incident that occurred on October 16, 2025. The accused pleaded guilty to the charge and was convicted on his own plea by Her Honour Nana Aba Quiba Nunoo, who presided over the case.
Following the ruling, Armah, a fisherman, was remanded to Ankaful Prison to begin serving his sentence.
Reports indicate that the suspect lured the victim into a ghetto in Mumford, where the act was recorded and circulated in a viral video.
The victim was initially taken to St. Luke Catholic Hospital for medical examination and treatment before the matter was referred to the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) in the Central Region.
The conviction highlights the judiciary’s commitment to holding perpetrators of sexual offences accountable.
