The Kadjebi police have arrested a tailor for forcibly shaving the private parts of a 19-year-old electrical apprentice in the Oti Region.
Recounting the incident, the victim, Bright Abusah, said the suspect, Yaw Owusu Adisi, invited him to his workshop at Cocoa Market, a suburb of Kadjebi, on the night of Sunday, January 21, 2024.
He said Yaw Owusu locked him up upon arrival and asked whether he had a girlfriend.
Abusah added that the suspect started showing him pornographic films on his mobile phone.
The suspect then ordered him to remove his trousers and underpants, which he obliged because he threatened to harm him if he resisted.
Abusah said he then picked up a pair of scissors and a disposable razor blade and started shaving his genitals.
After shaving, he then tried to arouse him by smearing ointment around his private part.
He escaped when the suspect excused himself to undertake some move.
Abusah ran away to Menuso, a farming community in the district, to report the incident to his grandfather, Mr Simon Tetteh Abusah.
His grandfather then took him to the Kadjebi Police Station to lodge a formal complaint on Monday, January 22, leading to the arrest of the accused.
Meanwhile, the suspect is currently in police custody pending investigations.
