Officers from the Police Intelligence Unit posed as potential buyers and during the transaction, Amofa requested GHC150,000.

Following his arrest, Amofa admitted that the child, the daughter of his senior brother Kwadwo Brako, currently residing in Nyamebekyere, a village near Akyem Ayirebi in the Eastern Region, was the intended victim.

He had invited her to stay with him under the pretext of better educational opportunities, only to exploit her for financial gain.

The child and Amofa have been handed over to the Kasoa Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) for further investigation.
