A farmer and tricycle rider in the Wa West District of the Upper West Region are being accused of assaulting and torturing a 13-year-old boy, whom they claim stole GH800 out of a total of GH1900 kept in the room.
The victim is a Basic Six pupil at Tanvaare Methodist Primary School and has been severely tortured by one Boraa Toyel, a resident of the community.
The incident occurred on Wednesday, April 19, 2023, when Boraa Toyel traced the victim to his school, pulled him out of class, tied him to a tree, and threatened to kill him if he did not give back the money.
“The child was with other pupils at the school, but the teachers were not there at the time when Boraa Toyel came and accused the child of stealing his money, picked him from the classroom, and started beating him as he pulled him out of the school.
“He said the boy was in the room where the money was kept charging his phone and later, he (Boraa Toyel) could not find the money, so, he thinks it is the boy who picked the money, he did not catch him with the money,” the Assembly Member explained.
Abdallah said an aunt of the victim later reported the incident to the school authorities who rushed to the scene and spotted the pupil tied to the tree with bruises all over his body.
