Pupil teacher jailed 10 years for abusing his 17-year-old daughter

Edward Ekuadzi, a 36-year-old teacher in Aflao, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. He was convicted for sexually abusing his 17-year-old daughter in their living room at Awakorme.

Ekuadzi appeared before the Denu Circuit Court on May 2, 2025. He pleaded guilty to the charges against him. The prosecution stated that Christy Kwau, the victim's mother and a trader, reported the abuse after her daughter confided in her.

Ekuadzi and Christy are divorced. The victim, a Senior High School student, had lived with Ekuadzi since she was a child.

On April 22, 2025, around 10:00 a.m., the victim visited her mother in Sepenukope. She refused to return to her father's home. When asked why, she revealed that Ekuadzi had sexually assaulted her twice.

The first incident occurred in March 2025 at about 4:20 a.m. The second happened on April 17, 2025, at around 4:30 a.m. He threatened her with death if she told anyone about the abuse.

After hearing this account, Christy reported the case to the Aflao Police Station. Authorities provided a medical form for the victim to get examined at a hospital.

Ekuadzi was arrested on April 30, 2025. During interrogation, he confessed to sexually abusing his daughter three times.
