Mother accuses police inspector of sexually abusing daughter, leading to HIV infection

A mother is accusing her 15-year-old daughter's father, a Police Inspector stationed at Garu in the Upper East Region, of sexually abusing the girl for several years. The mother stated that the abuse began when her daughter was around 10 years old, resulting in a pregnancy for which the father allegedly arranged a home abortion. The father reportedly coached the girl to lie, even leading to the arrest of a teacher who tried to help her. The truth emerged when a doctor at a hospital encouraged the girl to speak, and she disclosed her father's involvement. The doctor reported the matter to the police, and the inspector was questioned. The girl was initially separated from her father but later returned to his care during the investigation. The mother regained custody after the father fell ill. Medical tests later confirmed the girl is HIV positive, and the mother believes the daughter contracted the virus from her father, who reportedly took medication for leg pain. The mother submitted a medical report to the Agona Jamasi Police Station, but states the case has seen little progress. The case was also reported to the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit DOVVSU in Koforidua and referred to national headquarters, but the mother is still awaiting meaningful action.
