Tema, March 13, GNA - Dafliso Seti, a herbalist at Gbalorkorpe near Sege in the Dangme East District has been remanded by the Tema Circuit Court "A" on charges of raping a woman who had gone to him for treatment.

His plea was not taken and will reappear on April 8.

Chief Inspector Mary Assunta, prosecuting, told the court presided over by Mr Charles Asiedu that in January this year, Ms Christiana Agbodzah, a trader resident in Koforidua in the Eastern region but currently living at Koluedor near Ada, fell ill and was brought to Sege for herbal treatment of severe abdominal pains.

She said Christiana put-up with the herbalist, and while receiving treatment, Seti allegedly raped her on several occasions, adding that she reported her ordeal to her mother and Seti's wife Ogeh, but he denied when he was confronted.
