Navrongo: SHS student raped in school dormitory; suspect arrested

A student of Our Lady of Lourdes Girls Senior High School (OLL SHS) in Navrongo in the Upper East Region was mercilessly raped by a young man who had sneaked into her dormitory on the evening of Thursday, July 18, 2024.

The assailant pounced on the indisposed 19-year-old girl when he found her lying helplessly on her bed and forcibly had sexual intercourse with her. He then fled the scene with a phone belonging to one of the students.

When the matter was reported to the police, they immediately swung into action. Their investigations led to the arrest of the suspect, who is currently in police custody.

“Inside sources believe that the intruder may have sneaked into the dormitory with the intent to steal students’ belongings. According to them, the rape was probably a second thought, especially if he met the student lying naked in her bed. This, according to them, is evident because, after he was done sexually assaulting the student, he bolted with a mobile phone device from the dormitory,” Journalist Senyala Castro recounted in a report on the issue.

Incidents of thieves sneaking into the dormitories of the students to steal are frequent. Security measures seem to be ineffective in dealing with the matter.
