The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Central Regional Communications Director, Emmanuel Kwesi Dawood, has denied impregnating daughter and asking her to abort it.

It was published that the NDC Guru had allegedly been having sexual intercourse with his biological daughter since 2019 when the victim was 15 years, and in the course of the beastly act, the girl became pregnant.

He then allegedly got his friend to administer an injection to terminate the pregnancy last year, and according to the victim, she bled for more than two weeks.

The girl has claimed that Dawood beat her up when he got to know she had informed her mother about the father’s incestuous act, an incident that ended at the Swedru Divisional Police Command.

When the case was sent to the Cape Coast Circuit Court 1 presided over by Her Honour Dorinda Arthur-Smith on September 28, 2021, Dawood alongside one Dr. Arthur Mensah who allegedly administered the injection were charged with only conspiracy and assault.

Officer’s Efforts

However, the victim’s mother, Mavis Ayittey said she realised that Dawood has some sort of influence on some of the police officers at the Swedru Divisional Police Command and as a result, were messing up the case, so she reported to the Central Regional Police Commander, COP Kwadwo Antwi Tabi.

The Central Regional Police Commander, after getting to know the facts of the case, directed the police to withdraw the matter and file the appropriate charges against the suspects.

They are due in court on Wednesday, October 13, and according to sources, Dawood will be charged with conspiracy to commit crime, defilement, incest and illegal abortion.

Dawood is reportedly walking free now because of the directive to withdraw the initial case and file the appropriate charges.

Medical records from the Swedru Municipal Hospital indicate the victim was brought there for assessment and the assailant was recorded as ‘biological father’.

On the forms, she was examined by Dr. Emmanuel Afful, with Helena Nyarko as the nurse.

But in a statement, the NDC Guru said, “I have taken notice of a publication by the Daily Guide newspaper of 11th October, 2021 alleging that I have impregnated my daughter and made her abort the pregnancy.

I wish to state unequivocally that the said publication is a false and malicious fabrication.”

He appealed to the general public to treat the said publication and the allegations thereof with the contempt it deserves while he works with his lawyers to prove his innocence through the justice system and pursue a defamation action against the Daily Guide Newspaper.

“To all comrades, friends and family who have reached out to show concern, I am grateful for your encouragement and support. The truth cannot be buried forever; it will spring forth like a seed in the fullness of time,” he added.
