Accra, Sept. 15, GNA - A Circuit Court in Accra on Thursday remanded into prison custody a 29 year-old trader for indecently assaulting a 12-year-old class three pupil.

Wahab Omar, who pleaded not guilty, is to reappear on September 29. The case of prosecuting Police Inspector I.A.A. Ahor was that at about 0900 hours on September 10 the victim was bathing behind their house at Odwna when Omar sneaked in and inserted his finger into her genitals.

The victim raised the alarm and this attracted people to the scene.

The Prosecution said some people beat Omar up and handed him over to the Railways Police.
