Man gets 20 years for impregnating daughter

The 40-year-old man, who had sex with his two daughters and impregnated one of them, has been sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment by a Sekondi Gender-based court.

Joshua Mensah was convicted after he pleaded guilty to the charges of incest and defilement.

The Western Regional Police Command arrested Mensah for allegedly impregnating his 13-year-old daughter at Daboase in the Western Region.

The convict, according to sources, repeatedly had sex with his two daughters aged 13 and 10.

DAILY GUIDE learnt that the abominable act by the father was initially reported to the Daboase Police by the mother.

This was after Yaa Foriwaa, 31, who plies her trade in Accra, had visited the children at Daboase.

She realised that the husband had defiled the girls.

According to reports, Mensah started having sexual intercourse with the girls about a year ago and that he usually beat the girls whenever they resisted.

The 31-year-old mother could not hold back her tears when she spoke to journalists about the plight of her daughters.

According to her, she initially reported the matter to the Daboase queen mother who indicated that the man denied wrongdoing.

Madam Foriwaa subsequently reported the case to the Daboase Police who later arrested Mensah.

He was later handed over to the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service in Sekondi for further investigations.

DSP Frank Nana Assumaning, Western Regional DOVVSU Coordinator, who confirmed the arrest, explained that in 2017, Joshua Mensah took the two girls (name withheld) from their mother and defiled them continuously.

Ghana Ranks 1st in World Manhood Ranking

A graph revealing the average size of a man’s erect penis from all over the world has surfaced online and Africa is topping the list. Ghanaian men have the world’s largest penises, while Nigerian ranks 5th according to the latest ranking. South African men are ranked at number 10. It appears countries such as Asian countries such as India, Thailand and South Korea are not as gifted in terms of ‘eggplant’ as they are sitting at the bottom of the table. Nigeria is in the top five with Gabon, Jamaica, and Haiti. Target Map published a graph showing the differing lengths of a male’s manhood size across the World and Africa, Western Africa particular, takes the top spot.

Mauritania court gives toughest sentence for slave owners

Two slave owners in Mauritania have been jailed in a country where slavery remains widespread but convictions rare, activists say. The sentences of 10 and 20 years are said to be the toughest-ever for the crime in the West African country. Slavery was outlawed in 1981 but 1% of the population are still living in bondage, human rights groups say. Black people of certain ethnic groups are often enslaved as domestic workers by lighter-skinned Mauritanians. The country has jailed more anti-slavery activists than slave owners, rights groups say. The court in the north-western town of Nouadhibou gave a 20-year prison sentence to Hamoudi Ould Saleck. His father – who died before the trial ended – received the same sentence posthumously. Both were accused of “reducing to slavery” a family, two of whom were children. A woman, Revea Mint Mohamed, was jailed for 10 years for keeping three slaves – one of whom was a 29-year-old who had been kept since she was a small girl. Both cases had...
