A 16-year-old girl who was assaulted by a police officer at Begoro in the Eastern region has lost the unborn child.
The girl – identified only as Dora – is alleged to have been pulled and thrown against an electricity pole by the officer who had come to arrest her for stealing GHC250 Samsung mobile phone from a phone seller.
The police went to her house to arrest her, but a struggle ensued in the process after her plea to the police to put on a decent clothing before following them to the police station was not heeded to.
It was at the police station that Dora is alleged to have bled, leading to the loss of the child.
