Information reaching DAILY GUIDE indicates that some workers at the Damongo Hospital attacked police personnel and the Italian lady alleged to have been raped by a nurse at the facility.
According to sources, about 20 police personnel and Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) officers from Tamale who went to the hospital with the suspect and the victim for further investigations, were hit with stones and other objects by some workers to register their displeasure about the situation.
A source told DAILY GUIDE that patients and workers at the facility started sobbing when the suspect was brought there in handcuffs.
Meanwhile, the result of a vagina examination conducted on the victim at the Tamale Teaching Hospital is yet to be made public to determine whether the suspect ejaculated during the purported act.
Ernest Green, a 24-year-old nurse suspected of raping an Italian woman at the Damongo Government Hospital in the Northern Region, has since been remanded into police custody to assist in investigation.
According to the Northern Regional Police PRO, ASP Mohammed Yussif Tanko, the suspect was put before the Tamale Circuit Court 1, presided over by Justice Anthony Asaah; and has been remanded to reappear on 26th April, 2018. He further stated that the suspect’s plea was not taken.
Ernest Green was arrested by the Damongo police for allegedly raping a 24-year-old Italian woman who was on admission at the hospital.
According to the victim (name withheld), she was rushed to the hospital when she was attacked by malaria.
She said upon her arrival, the suspect informed her of the availability of a private ward.
The victim said Ernest Green helped her to lie on the bed at the private ward, saying, “Suddenly, he fondled my breast, removed my panties and eventually penetrated me.”
The victim said even though she was conscious during the rape, she was extremely weak to stop Green.
