Two men have been remanded into police custody over the alleged murder of a two-year-old girl, identified as Denisah Neomina, at Sefwi Awaso in Ghana’s Western North Region.
The accused persons, Sumaila Atta and Daniel Chimaobi, appeared before the Bibiani District Court on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, to answer charges connected to the child’s death.
According to reports, Sumaila Atta has been charged with child stealing and murder, while Daniel Chimaobi faces charges of abetting child stealing and abetting murder.
The court ordered both accused persons to be remanded in police custody as the legal process continues. The charges are yet to be determined through a full trial, and the accused persons remain presumed innocent unless proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction.
During the proceedings, prosecutor Detective Inspector Daniel Ansah was directed to forward the case docket to the Attorney-General’s Department for advice.
The directive is expected to guide the next steps in the prosecution, including the consideration of the evidence gathered by investigators and the appropriate legal action to be taken.
The court subsequently adjourned the case to November 9, 2026, pending compliance with the directive and further advice from the Attorney-General’s Department.
The alleged killing of the young girl has caused concern among residents of Sefwi Awaso, with the case drawing attention to the safety and protection of children within communities.
Cases involving the alleged abduction or killing of children often raise urgent questions about the circumstances leading to the incidents and whether adequate safeguards were in place. However, the precise sequence of events surrounding Denisah Neomina’s death was not fully detailed in the available reports.
Investigators are expected to establish the circumstances surrounding the child’s disappearance and death, as well as the respective roles, if any, of the two accused persons.
The court process will provide an opportunity for the prosecution to present its evidence and for the accused persons to respond to the charges against them. Any conclusions about responsibility must be based on evidence tested through the judicial process.
As the case moves forward, residents and the child’s family will be looking for clarity about what happened and for the legal process to establish the facts.
The next court appearance is scheduled for November 9, 2026.
