A 40-year-old man, identified as Michael Opoku Boateng, popularly known as Kofi Agyei, has been arrested by the Abuakwa District Police Command for impregnating his 12-year-old stepdaughter.
This incident comes after Kofi Agyei and his wife went to a radio station in the Ashanti Region to seek help in finding who was responsible for their daughter’s pregnancy and the father of the newborn child.
Information gathered indicates that the girl initially confessed that his father was responsible for the pregnancy but later claimed that it was another person called Michael Claude Hills.
Michael Claude Hills, determined to prove his innocence, availed himself for a paternity test to be conducted and requested that specimen should also be taken from the victim’s stepfather.
The results conclusively showed that Michael Claude Hills was not the biological father of the newborn baby boy, but rather, it was Kofi Agyei, the stepfather of the victim.
Confirming the incident on live radio, the victim confessed that her stepfather influenced her to accuse Michael Claude Hills to avoid disgrace and embarrassment and also to save his job.
The girl also disclosed that his stepfather started having sexual intimacy with her when she was 11 years old.
Subsequently, Kofi Agyei was arrested and handed over to the police.
