A video has been shared on social media of National Security personnels brutalising a man believed to be a financier of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The man being brutalised has been alleged to be from the NDC’s Asante Akyem South Constituency of the Ashanti Region.
In the viral video, Deputy Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator Ivan Bilson Yeboah was seen leading the beatdown.
He was captured, hitting the man’s leg with a handcuff while three soldiers pinned him to the ground.
Ivan Bilson Yeboah, in the video, was heard insulting the man as he was hitting him. He also asked him, “Who gave you the mandate?”
The alleged NDC financier was seen being dragged on the ground and beaten by the soldiers, as he resisted the arrest.
It is yet to be known what caused the viral beatdown.
However, the man, after he was handcuff was put in a vehicle.
Nevertheless, the Ghana Chronicles have suggested that the man being beaten is not an NDC financier.
In a post shared on X, they wrote, “New details have emerged regarding the incident. The victim is not an NDC financier, but an ex-police officer, Sidiko, who is involved in the wood business.
Reports indicate that about a month ago, National Security operatives intercepted his vehicle carrying suspected illegal wood, but he failed to stop. A follow-up operation was later carried out at his workplace to seize equipment and his vehicle.
During the operation, he allegedly attempted to drive through the officers, which led to the confrontation and subsequent assault.
He has since apologised, and the incident occurred at Trede in the Atwima Kwanwoma Constituency”.
Some Ghanaians reacting to the viral video stated, “Lawlessness at its highest levels, is that how to make an arrest ?? Does wearing a uniform make you superhuman? These are thugs in uniforms, and we call this country a safe country??? Ghana is becoming like Nigeria, and we are all watching it become worse every day.”
A netizen added, “Serves him right, who are you to confront a uniformed man wearing the nation’s coat of arms, you’re completely disrespecting the nation and fighting the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, the President”.
