A woman who is thought to be in her early 40s was allegedly gang-raped by five Fulani herdsmen early on Sunday morning in Gomoa Ojobi in the Central Region.
The victim, a Fulani woman, and her husband were also attacked in the victim’s home, according to information gathered by Kasapa News, Yaw Boagyan. The suspects were armed with pistols, cutlasses, and other weapons.
Before dragging his wife into a nearby bush and raping her, they tied the husband with a rope, bandaged his mouth to stop him from screaming, and tied him again.
They failed to take into account the fact that the victim is also a Fulani and had sex with her before threatening to murder her if she dared call for assistance.
Once they were satisfied, they tied her up with a rope and dumped her in the bushes till locals came upon her and brought her home.
The victim’s husband claims that following the raping and assault, the suspects also took 10 of his cows, but fortunately, they were unable to transport them.
Before they could move, the owner shouted at the neighbors to come to his home and help him. The suspects then loaded the cows into a Sprinter bus with the license plate GG-2766-21.
The culprits fled, leaving the animals on the bus behind, as they spotted the armed citizens closing in on them.
The locals attacked the car and almost lit it on fire out of rage.
The victim is being treated at the hospital, and the crime has been reported to the Gomoa Ojobi Police for inquiry.
