'I cannot sit, I have to kneel to write in class' – Minor sodomised by teacher reveals in leaked audio

A leaked tape detailing a chat between a minor and an Arabic teacher currently on the run, Sule Anas, has revealed how the victim at the time of their conversation was finding it difficult to sit due to the abuse.

The Arabic teacher, Anas Sule, is reportedly on the run for defilement and having unnatural carnal knowledge of two minors at Fijai Zongo near Sekondi in the Western Region.

Narrating his ordeal to the Sule Anas, one of the victims in a leaked telephone conversation told him that his parents were sending him to a health facility for assessment of the situation and did not know what to tell them.

"Don't tell them it was me. You, let’s keep praying everything will be alright. Don’t be afraid. Recite the Qu’ran and treat the situation as helping your Mallam. I will be praying myself. So, did you say you’re unable to sit?" the Arabic teacher asked.

"I cannot sit. When I'm at school. I kneel to be able to write on my desk," the minor told him in Fante dialect.

“Let’s pray that the doctor’s assessment of the situation will reveal a different prognosis and keep praying everything will be alright,” the Arabic teacher said.

Police launch manhunt for Arabic teacher accused of defiling minors

The police have since launched a manhunt for Sule Anas, who bolted after the leaked tape went viral on social media.

A police report however stated that they suspect that Anas may have bolted to neighbouring Cote d'Ivoire or Togo.

Background

The Gender Court in Sekondi issued the arrest warrant on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, on the case.

According to Superintendent Olivia Adiku, in charge of Police Public Affairs in the Western Region.

Anas, according to the police, was employed by leaders of the Fijai Zongo Central community to teach their children the Arabic language on weekends.

The police report added that, the suspect reportedly lured the two minors into a storeroom inside the mosque on the pretext of performing spiritual cleansing for them, before allegedly sodomising and defiling the children.

Anas, who is described as fair in complexion and standing at approximately 5.7 feet tall, is believed to have fled the country.

According Superintendent Adiku, police intelligence suggests he may be hiding in either La Côte d'Ivoire or Togo.

The police is therefore calling on anyone with credible information on his whereabouts to contact the Western Regional Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit or the nearest police station.

The public may also call 191 or 112 to assist in his arrest.
