A Police officer in the Wa Municipality in the Upper West region has been arrested for allegedly defiling a class 5 pupil in the Mangu electoral area.

The yet to be identified officer prior to the alleged act reportedly beat up two young children including the victim he defiled.

He threatened to beat onlookers who pleaded on behalf of his victims.
