On Monday, 14th July 2025, Ghanaian woke to the news of a 13-year-old Ama, a Class 3 pupil of Madina No.3 School, defiled by 20 men at Madina.
Many news outlets reported this sad news, sending shocking waves to many Ghanaians at such a barbaric ac
On Tuesday, 15th July, the MP for Madina, Francis Xavier, boldly declared his readiness with other lawyers to support the defiled victim and ensure the perpetrator faces the full rigors of the law.
The Justice Revived Foundation (JRF)and Human Rights Reporters Ghana (HRRG in a statement shared that they’ve been deeply horrified and outraged by the heinous gang defilement of Ama, a 13-year-old class 3 pupil of Madina No. 3 School, by over 20 men, including boys, in Madina, Accra.
This atrocious crime, which began in February 2025, has left Ama, a vulnerable teenager, three months pregnant and traumatized.
“We stand in unwavering solidarity with Ama and her family as they seek justice”, they added.
According to Ama’s courageous testimony, the chief perpetrator, 45-year-old mason Clement Kwame, lured her under pretenses and forcibly subjected her to sexual assault.
Clement Kwame, who resides near Hannah School near Ama’s home, orchestrated this horrific crime alongside a group of accomplices, including individuals identified as Nico, Kassim, Englishman, Oluu, Taller, Uncle Kwasi, Uncle Kojo, Sweet Pola, D-Black, Ensor, Paa Kwesi, Thomas, Kwabena, Agya, and Kwaku, among others.
These perpetrators, some of whom are reportedly friends and colleagues of Clement Kwame, defiled Ama on multiple occasions, often without protection and in a group setting.
The chief perpetrator further compounded Ama’s suffering by threatening her life to silence her, preventing her from reporting the abuse and unlawful acts to her family or authorities.
The case has been lodged with the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU), Madina branch, and we commend the police for arresting some of the perpetrators.
However, we are gravely concerned that Clement Kwame and several others remain at large. We urgently call on the Inspector General of Police (IGP) and DOVVSU, Madina, to:
1. Expedite investigations with the utmost diligence and sensitivity, ensuring Ama and her family are treated with respect and compassion.
2. Intensify efforts to apprehend Clement Kwame and all remaining perpetrators involved in this despicable crime.
3. Ensure all offenders are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, delivering justice for Ama and sending a clear message that such atrocities will not be tolerated.
4. Provide Ama with comprehensive medical, psychological, and social support to address her physical and emotional trauma, including her ongoing pregnancy.
HRRG and JRF are united in our commitment to ensuring justice for the victim.
We are working tirelessly to support her family, advocate for her rights, and amplify her voice. No child should endure such unimaginable violence, and no perpetrator should escape accountability.
Every child’s welfare must be treated as paramount, as the law requires.
We call on the Ghanaian authorities, civil society organizations, and the public to join us in condemning this inhumane and criminal act and demanding swift justice.
We further urge the government and relevant stakeholders to strengthen measures to protect vulnerable children, particularly girls, from sexual violence and exploitation.
This includes robust enforcement of existing laws, public awareness campaigns, and accessible support systems for survivors of sexual abuse.
Ama’s story is a painful reminder of the urgent need to address sexual and gender-based violence in our communities.
HRRG and JRF will not rest until justice is served for Ama and every child in Ghana lives in a safe environment free from fear and violence.
