On their way, they met Adusei who invited the victim and ordered the sister to take the lead whilst he preached the gospel to the victim. The prosecutor said immediately the small girl left the prophet pulled the victim into a bush and forcibly had sex with her.

After the act, the accused gave GHP 40 to the girl and asked her not to mention her ordeal to any one or else she would die.
