Traumatised rape victim appeals for support
The 24-year-old young lady who boldly “divided” the penis of a rapist into two at Obuasi a couple of days ago, has appealed for psychological assistance following the traumatic event.
Ms Justina Donkor was allegedly raped by Mr Emmanuel Akron, an alleged armed robber who broke into her room at Abompe, a suburb of Obuasi in the Ashanti Region when she was fast asleep.
Akron is said to have forcibly removed the underwear of the victim and raped her in the process after which he robbed her.
Speaking to this reporter on phone on Tuesday, Ms Donkor said “the ordeal is having a toll on her and that she needs urgent medical attention.”
Ms Justina Donkor, who bit off the penis of a rapist, has appealed for psychological support, due to her traumatic condition.
An armed robber, Emmanuel Akron, broke into their house in Abompey New Site in Obuasi in the Ashanti Region and in the process removed the underwear to forcibly sleep with her, and later asked her to give him a ‘blow job’ to get an erection for another bout of sex.
“I can’t sleep, at times, I shout as though someone is chasing me, anytime I close my eyes, I feel like someone is chasing me with a knife, it is my mother who has been telling me no one is around, so I should keep calm,” she said.
The traumatised victim believes that relocating from the house and the very room the unfortunate incident happened would be better.
According to her, sleeping in the same room the incident happened had not been a comfortable experience to her.
“Any time I am walking, I feel like some people are trailing me, I have reported this to the police, my life is in danger, I don’t feel safe, I can die at anytime,” she remarked painfully.
It is for these reasons that she has appealed for psychological support, and relocation, because her pictures and videos in which she granted interviews are now in the public domain, and she fears friends of Emmanuel Akron may avenge anytime soon.
Justina, who is unemployed, revealed that she failed her English Language paper, and has registered to write NOV/DEC examination to better her grades to enable her to apply for recruitment into the Ghana Police or Military.
Unfortunately for her, the examinations starts on Monday with oral English, but with her condition, appearance in court, and also visits to the hospital for medial care, she had not been in any better position to learn.
The lady claimed she woke up to find the man holding a machete and pointing a locally manufactured pistol at her.
Mr Akron had earlier robbed her of an amount of GH¢550, her TV set and mobile phone.
According to her statement to the police, the rapist, with blood oozing from the wound after the incident, ran away leaving the TV set and her mobile phone behind.
She was rushed to Anglo Gold Ashanti (AGA) Hospital for treatment, and coincidentally, Mr Akron, who was bleeding later turned up there and told the nurses, he was rather attacked by armed robbers who bit off his penis, a story which didn’t add up for the medical staff of the hospital.
Unfortunately for him, Justina Donkor recognised him leading to his arrest.

The Upper East Regional Police Command has retrieved a large quantity of ammunition at a mechanic workshop near the Assemblies of God Church in Bolgatanga.
The retrieval followed a report made to the Police on May 9, 2026 by an auto mechanic, who stated that his apprentice discovered suspicious items while sweeping the workshop premises.
A team of Police officers moved swiftly to the scene and recovered two sealed packets hidden in fertilizer sacks inside a hen coop.
The packets contained a total of 1,400 rounds of 7.62×39mm ammunition, with each packet containing 700 rounds.
The exhibits are in Police custody for evidential purposes, while investigations continue to establish the source and ownership of the ammunition.
The Ghana Police Service has arrested two suspected robbers believed to be involved in a series of armed robberies within the Bolgatanga metropolis and along the Bolgatanga-Walewale highway.
The suspects, identified as Moses Akungoe, also known as “Mosbee,”, and Jacob Akugri, also known as “Weezy,” were arrested on May 9, 2026 in Kumasi by a team from the CID Headquarters Operations Unit following weeks of intelligence gathering and surveillance operations in Bolgatanga and Walewale.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspects were part of a robbery gang armed with two AK47 rifles and pistols, operating within the Upper East and North East Regions.
The gang is believed to have robbed several persons of cash, motorbikes, and mobile phones on streets and highways, with some of the incidents resulting in deaths.
During interrogation, the suspects admitted to their involvement in several robbery activities and identified the alleged gang leader as Issaka, with another accomplice named Araafat, both currently at large.
Police are currently pursuing leads to arrest the remaining suspects including some persons believed to be supplying the gang with weapons for their criminal activities.
The two suspects are currently in Police custody assisting investigations, while efforts continue to retrieve stolen items and identify other accomplices linked to the robberies.
