The prosecution lawyer for the case, who also happens to be the regional state attorney, Mr. Saeed Abdul Shakur speaking to the media after the court’s verdict, expressed satisfaction with the decision of the Wa circuit court on the case.

According to the Upper West Regional state attorney, the outcome of the court verdict should serve as a reminder to perpetrators who engage in such nefarious acts that conflict with the law.

The 35 year old Wa Notorious pedophile Ahmed Rashid popularly referred to as Anaata has been sentenced to 22 years in prison after the Wa circuit court found him guilty of defiling 9 girls in Wa.

The court, presided by His Honor Jonathan Avogo made the decision after the convict, a local emcee (MC), was found guilty of defiling 9 minors (girls) contrary to section 101 of the Criminal Offenses Act, Act 29.

The prosecutor for the case, principal state attorney Saeed Abdul- Shakuur had revised the earlier twelve counts of defilement against the convict and mounted five different dockets which contained fifteen defilement charges and five attempted cases of defilement.

Twelve victims initially reported the unlawful incident which had been perpetuated by the convict for a long time and four more were confirmed to have suffered multiple sexual penetrations by the suspect while the case was ongoing.

A medical officer at the Wa Municipal Hospital, Dr Alhassan Mohammed Mubarak confirmed the assaults in a quiet and teary court on August 23 which added up to the sentencing of the convict.

Dr. Mubarik confirmed that all the victims had lost their hymens.
