Police have arrested a man who allegedly kidnapped and raped a 13-year-old girl.
A family in New Jeshwang on 11 April raised the alarm their daughter had gone missing after being sent on an errand. The girl was seen one week later.
It has now emerged the girl was in the custody of Bakau resident Alagie Ousman Ceesay, with the girl’s family alleging the man raped her.

“An investigation began into the circumstances of her disappearance,” the police spokesman said.
He added: “The police later received information about the girl being found at Bakau.
