A 47-year-old EMT officer, Alhassan Kunfo, has been arrested by police at Bole, in the Savannah Region, for allegedly defiling two children.

According to a close source, the victims, aged five and seven years, are neighbours of the suspect.

The seven-year-old victim, who was in pain, informed her parents about her ordeal while she was taking her bath.

The case was immediately reported to the Bole police who facilitated his arrest.
