Sodomy: DOVVSU invites Dr. Gabass
The Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Western Regional Police Command have launched investigations into a case in which a medical doctor is alleged to have sodomised a 16-year-old senior high school student.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic, the Commander of the Unit, Assistant Superintendent of Police Mr Frank Nana Asumani, said the unit had served Dr Sulle Ali Gabass with an invitation through the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Referral Hospital to appear before it.
He said although there was no formal complaint made to the command, the allegations bordered on criminality and the police would not wait for a complaint before acting.
Dr Gabass stands accused for sodomising the student (name withheld) on five occasions, three times in his vehicle and two times in the doctor’s house at Alajo in Accra, according to a JOY FM news report.
According to the report, the doctor had offered the victim money after the first act which he declined and had subsequently deleted the doctor’s number on his phone.
But the doctor, it said, called him with another number that if he failed to oblige to his sexual demands, he would “send people after him” and also blackmail him on Facebook.
“Apart from experiencing anu-rectal complications that saw him undergo surgery at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, the victim has been diagnosed with HIV,” the report stated.
According to the report, Dr Gabass, on the other hand, admitted that he had anal sex with the victim on a number of occasions but denied that he was the source of the HIV infection.
