Abubakari Aliu,\u00a032, who allegedly chased a married woman working in her farm with a machete, overpowered and forcibly had sex with her has ben arrested by the police at Agogo.<\/p>\n

He reportedly fled after committing the alleged crime and left the 19-year-old victim to her fate in the bush.<\/p>\n

The incident happened in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.<\/p>\n

According to MyJoyOnline<\/em>, many who had been raped by herdsmen didn\u2019t report their ordeal for fear of being stigmatised.<\/p>\n

A member of the Assembly, Mr. Peter Abaje, believes the people of Agogo have been vindicated of rape claims.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cPreviously when we report a case of rape we were not taken seriously. People keep saying we should bring evidence, which has now has been confirmed. It means it is true; they [herdsmen] have been raping them [women].<\/p>\n

\u201cBut most of the time some of them are always afraid to come out boldly to say they were raped by herdsmen especially those who are married.\u201d<\/p>

Abaje said the latest victim was, however, one of the few to have the courage to report to the police after first informing him.<\/p>\n

She had arrived in the area from the Northern region less than a month ago when she suffered the abuse.<\/p>\n

She reportedly was on her farm with her sister-in-law doing some planting when the herdsman who was wearing a mask attacked them.<\/p>\n

The sister-in-law who managed to escape raised the alarm in the Nsonyameye Community, but it was too late when the villagers arrived the scene, as the herdsman had already escaped.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was crying the whole of the day. It is very difficult for her because she got married about a year ago so she was thinking about how the husband will feel when he hears what has happened,\u201dAbaje said.<\/p>\n

The victim has since been treated and discharged at the Agogo Presbyterian Hospital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
