The Prosecution said luck, however, eluded Kwabena when the owner of the kiosk entered when Kwabena asked the victim to leave.

She said when the victim’s father quizzed her as to why she had kept that long, she narrated her ordeal to him.

The Prosecution said a report was made to the Police at Kotobabi where an extract of occurrence was prepared for the complainant to take it to Nima Domestic Violence and Victim’s Support Unit (DOVVSU).
