The police have released a mentally challenged man who attacked a two-year-old girl in Agona Duakwa, Central region.

His release, reportedly due to his connection with a community elder, has sparked outrage among residents.

The toddler, initially treated at Agona Duakwa Salvation Army Hospital, was later transferred to Winneba Trauma and Specialist Hospital, then to Korle-bu due to severe injuries.

Residents, who feel unprotected, have vowed to retaliate against the man if he attacks again, despite potential consequences. They claim previous attempts to keep him away from the community have failed, leading to heightened tensions.
