A viral video has emerged showing two police officers assaulting a young man, slapping him several times during an encounter. The incident has triggered public outrage, with many questioning the professionalism of the officers involved.
In the footage, one of the officers is heard claiming that he had previously assisted the suspect in a personal matter concerning his wife. However, the officer alleged that the young man later attempted to defraud him by using his phone number.
The video, which has since circulated widely on social media, has raised concerns about the use of excessive force by law enforcement. Many observers argue that, regardless of the allegations, the officers should have followed due process instead of physically assaulting the suspect.
There are growing calls for the Ghana Police Service to investigate the matter and take appropriate disciplinary action. Civil society groups and citizens alike are urging authorities to uphold accountability and ensure that such incidents do not undermine public trust in the police.
