Police declare Arabic teacher wanted over alleged defilement of two minors in Sekondi

The Western Regional Police Command has declared an Arabic teacher, Sule Anas, wanted for allegedly defiling and engaging in unnatural carnal knowledge of two minors at Fijai Zongo Central near Sekondi.

According to a statement issued by the Public Affairs Unit of the Western Regional Police Command, the suspect was employed by leaders of the Fijai Zongo Central community to teach Arabic to children during weekends.

Preliminary police investigations revealed that the suspect allegedly lured the two minors into a store room within the mosque premises under the guise of performing spiritual cleansing rituals on them. Police say the suspect subsequently sodomized and defiled the children.

A warrant for the arrest of Sule Anas was issued by the Gender Court in Sekondi on Wednesday, May 20, 2026.

The suspect is described as fair in complexion and approximately 5.7 feet tall. Intelligence gathered by the police indicates that he may have fled to either La Côte d’Ivoire or Togo to evade arrest.

The Western Regional Police Command has appealed to the public to assist with information that could lead to the arrest of the suspect. Persons with credible information have been urged to contact the Western Regional Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU), report to the nearest police station, or call the emergency numbers 191 or 112.

“The Command is urging anyone with credible information on the whereabouts of suspect Anas Sule, who is currently on the run, to contact the Western Regional Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit,” portions of the police statement said.

The incident has sparked concern within the Fijai Zongo community over the safety and protection of children entrusted to religious instructors and caregivers.

Police say investigations into the matter are ongoing.
