The young woman who bit the penis of the Techiman Municipal Commander of the Ghana National Fire Service, DO III Philip Ansah Andoh has been arrested for causing harm.
This follows preliminary investigations by the police which revealed that the girl, Ata Takyi had been in an amorous relationship with the Commander.
The latest revelation was contrary to earlier reports that the Commander had been harassing her for sex.
The Brong Ahafo Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Sergeant Sampson Gbande, told The Ghanaian Times, in an interview that she was arrested after the incident, for causing harm but was now on police enquiry bail.
Sgt. Gbande said Ata had been asked to report periodically to the police, until investigations were concluded.
Ata Takyi, who is a beneficiary of the Community Fire Protection Assistant module of the Youth Enterprise Agency (YEA), was alleged to have bitten the commander’s penis at her apartment last Saturday.
The Commander was said to have visited her at midnight on that fateful day, and allegedly attempted to forcibly have sexual intercourse with her.
Ata was said to have initially struggled with him, but as he seemed too strong for her, she agreed to her request.
Then as they engaged in fore-play, she bit his penis, a source said.
According to the source, after the incident, she called the office to report a fire outbreak, and personnel of the municipal office rushed there only to find their Commander in the room bleeding.
He was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
