A Circuit Court in Cape Coast has sentenced 49-year-old fisherman Samuel Armah, also known as ‘Kofi Nyan’, to 10 years in prison with hard labour.
He was convicted after pleading guilty to defiling a 13-year-old girl at Mumford in the Central Region.
According to the press release issued by the Central Regional Police Command on October 29 2025, the offence occurred on October 16, 2025.
Kofi Nyan is said to have lured the victim into a ghetto at Mumford and defiled her.
“On 28/10/2025, the defilement case … was called at Circuit Court Two, Cape Coast, presided over by Her Honour Nana Aba Quiba Nunoo. The accused person pleaded guilty to the charge of defilement and he was convicted on his own plea and sentenced to serve ten (10) years imprisonment in hard labour,” the statement said.
He has since been sent to Ankaful Prison to begin serving his sentence.
The victim was sent to St. Luke Catholic Hospital for examination and treatment.
The docket was referred to the Central Regional DOVVSU, where the suspect admitted to the offence and he was subsequently detained.
The police have also appealed to residents of Mumford and surrounding areas to assist in apprehending four identified accomplices – Agoogo, Edina, Kwesi Abbam and Agya Ankoto – who remain at large.
