The embattled fire officer in the controversial penis biting and alleged rape case, that took place in Techiman, has been provisionally charged for rape by the Techiman police.

Divisional Officer, Eric Ansah, was last week arraigned before the Techiman Circuit Court for attempting to rape Ataa Takyi , a beneficiary of the Community Fire Protection Assistant module of the Youth Enterprise Agency (YEA) at Techiman in the Brong Ahafo region.

He was charged based on the complaint lodged by the lady in question on Saturday. She said the commander attempted to rape her in her room for which she bit his penis in self defense.

The court, presided over by Her Lordship Juan Eyi King, on his first appearance, granted the accused a GHC2, 000 bail to allow him recover from the injury he sustained, and asked that he reappears before the court on 11th October, 2016.

The lady, who was not in court on the first hearing, may face charges of causing harm to the man if investigations turn out that the commander did not attempt to rape her as reported.

Officer under suspension pending investigations

Meanwhile, D.O Eric Ansah, has been interdicted by GNFS to allow for an enquiry into the matter.

The Deputy Public Relations Officer of the Ghana National Fire Service, Prince Billy Anaglate in an interview with Citi News, said the Fire Service could not confirm or deny the allegations against D.O Eric Ansah.

He added that, the officer will remain under suspension pending investigations .
