The Central East Regional Police Command has arrested two men in connection with the suspected sexual assault and killing of an 11-year-old girl at Gomoa Buduburam in the Central Region.
The suspects are Kingsley Ozor, a 40-year-old auto-body sprayer, and his apprentice, 19-year-old Jeffery Otaigbe. Both are Nigerian nationals who lived near the child.
The girl reportedly went missing on Saturday, October 17, 2026, after visiting the suspects’ residence at about 8:30 a.m.
Her mother reported her disappearance to the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit on Monday, October 19. Preliminary police inquiries led to the arrest of both men the following day.
According to police, Otaigbe allegedly admitted during questioning that he had lured the child to an uncompleted building near an estate community and sexually assaulted her. He subsequently led investigators to a location where her body had been concealed beneath shrubs.
The body was recovered and taken to the St. Gregory Catholic Hospital morgue for preservation. An autopsy is expected to be conducted at the Police Hospital to establish the cause of death.
The Central East Regional Police Command is continuing its investigation into the circumstances surrounding the child’s disappearance and death. The allegations against the suspects have not been determined by a court.
