Two men standing trial over the alleged stealing and murder of a two-year-old girl at Sefwi Awaso in the Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai Municipality of the Western North Region have been remanded into police custody.
The accused persons, Sumaila Atta and Daniel Chimaobi, appeared before the Bibiani District Court, presided over by His Worship Lord Delvin Essandoh.
The first accused, Sumaila Atta, is facing charges of stealing a child and murder in connection with the death of two-year-old Denisah Neomina.
His co-accused, Daniel Chimaobi, has been charged with abetting the stealing of a child and abetting murder.
After proceedings, the court ordered that both accused persons be remanded into police custody to allow investigations to continue.
The prosecutor, Detective Inspector Daniel Ansah, was also directed to ensure that the case docket is forwarded to the Attorney-General’s Department for advice.
The case has been adjourned to November 9, 2026, pending compliance with the court’s order and the outcome of the Attorney-General’s review.
The alleged killing has reportedly left residents of Sefwi Awaso in fear and anxiety, raising concerns within the community over the safety of children.
The two accused persons remain subject to the court process, and the allegations against them are yet to be proven.
