It was also stated that people living in the compound couldn’t render any help to the minor when she was being dragged into a room there. Dickson said her screams were heard by a relative, who rushed in, thinking someone was beating a baby in the room. She called for help when she found the suspect having his way with her. He said the girl was rescued but the community has remained quiet considering the high level of cultism and violence in the area. Dickson disclosed that she told her father about the incident, who swiftly asked the vigilante to arrest the motorcyclist. While seeking justice, Dickson said they had invited policemen from Otukpa divisional headquarters to take custody of the boy from the local vigilante group. He said the boy was released on bail on the 7th of January and has refused to show up at the station as part of the bail conditions.
