Hiplife musician, Akyampong Deeba is in the grips of INTERPOL Ghana Office of
Police Criminal Investigations Department (CID) for defilement.
His arrest however did not come
without drama, not because he was arrested by Police but because of the
involvement of ace investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his Arabian
friend, Sheikh Ibn Abu Talib.
Deeba was invited to a 5 star
hotel here in Accra on Tuesday morning under the pretext of attending a music
audition for already established music stars willing to revive their ambitions.
It was during this time when he was giving a free style of his famous ‘Deeba’
track that Police men from INTERPOL section of the CID came in to arrest him.
Deeba is alleged to have
repeatedly defiled his eight year old step daughter of his fiancee in the
United Kingdom, between 2006 till 2008 when he returned to Ghana.
After years of investigations and
with a fat dossier on his actions, UK INTERPOL requested their counterparts in
Ghana to help arrest him. That was when our reporter was contacted to help
arrest the suspect who was in the country.
Anas (Queen Petra), was again in
disguise, seated as a female member on the auditioning panel, in an elaborate
black wig, high heel shoes, with artificial breasts, buttocks and face mask
with detailed makeup. The face mask was produced by a movie props company in
London, the United Kingdom.
He was dressed in a pink outfit
laced with black flower designs. He had his red manicure, with red lipstick to
match, a ruby necklace and bracelet, capped with shiny scarf. He also wore
light brown slacks to match. Other members of the panel included a top
television director, a member of the INTERPOL and Sheikh Ibn Abu Talib.
According to a legal document
titled ‘Summary of Evidence’ a copy of which is in the possession of this
paper, Deeba returned to Ghana from United Kingdom after living in the UK with
his fiancée, with who he has two biological kids.
His sexual exploits though were
on the elder step daughter of his fiancée from an earlier relationship. The
document states in parts that: “in September 2008, Akyampong left the United
Kingdom and returned to Ghana. Two weeks after his departure, the girl (name
withheld – who was now eight years old) told her mother (name withheld) that
Akyampong had been “sleeping with” her, and that he had been using his “thing.”
(The mother) understood this to mean that Akyampong had been having sex with her.”
Deeba’s actions were occasioned
by the fact that he was alone with the children at their home (place withheld)
because their mother worked on night shift, the reason why he moved in later to
stay with the family.
Portions of the girl’s testimony
to UK investigators related how he (Deeba) forced the girl to watch
pornographic material before having sex with her. According to the ‘Summary of
Evidence:’ “she (the young girl) stated that she had seen “white stuff” come
out of his penis several occasions. She also disclosed that Akyampong had put
his penis in her bottom a couple of times and that it had hurt.”
A medical examination by a
forensic physician revealed later in 2009 that extensive damage had been done
to the hymen of the young girl and that “there was full thickness hymenal
laceration at the 5 o’clock position extending from the hymenal opening to the
vaginal wall. This injury was consistent with the girl’s report of vaginal
penetration,” it concluded.
There is also the issue of
multiple identities on the part of the accused, who used several names amongst
others such as: Richard Nimoh, Deeba Kofi Akyampong, Richard Nimoh Deeba and
Deeba Kofi, same was the case with his dates of birth which varied between 1977
and 1979.
The possible line of action is
that INTERPOL Ghana would most likely extradite him to face the necessary
charges in the UK.
