Fire officer charged for rape in penis bite case
The embattled fire officer in the controversial
penis biting and alleged rape case, that took
place in Techiman, has been provisionally charged
for rape by the Techiman police.

Divisional Officer, Eric Ansah, was last week
arraigned before the Techiman Circuit Court for
attempting to rape Ataa Takyi, a beneficiary of
the Community Fire Protection Assistant module of
the Youth Enterprise Agency (YEA) at Techiman in
the Brong Ahafo region.

He was charged based on the complaint lodged by
the lady in question on Saturday. She said the
commander attempted to rape her in her room for
which she bit his penis in self defense.

The court, presided over by Her Lordship Juan Eyi
King, on his first appearance, granted the accused
a GHC2, 000 bail to allow him recover from the
injury he sustained, and asked that he reappears
before the court on 11th October, 2016.

The lady, who was not in court on the first
hearing, may face charges of causing harm to the
man if investigations turn out that the commander
did not attempt to rape her as reported.

Officer under suspension pending investigations

Meanwhile, D.O Eric Ansah, has been interdicted by
GNFS to allow for an enquiry into the matter.

The Deputy Public Relations Officer of the Ghana
National Fire Service, Prince Billy Anaglate in an
interview with Citi News, said the Fire Service
could not confirm or deny the allegations against
D.O Eric Ansah.

He added that, the officer will remain under
suspension pending investigations.
