His arrest comes after he assaulted a drugstore attendant and a female customer at a pharmacy in Burma Camp in civilian clothes.
In the CCTV footage going viral on social media, the alleged military man is seen slapping both the woman and the pharmacy attendant.
The information gathered suggests, the military officer demanded a refund of about ₵65 after rejecting the medication he had sent a boy to purchase on his behalf.
The pharmacy attendant reportedly informed him that the drugs sold are not returnable, which irritated the man and led him to assault both the attendant and the woman.
In the viral video, the military officer pushed the female customer on the chest when the phone pull out her phone to record him. He then slapped the female twice before taking his aim at the pharmacy attendant.
Meanwhile, the owner of the Burma Camp Pharmacy, where a military officer assaulted a Pharmacy attendant and a female customer, has shared details on their conditions.
According to the pharmacy owner, the pharmacy attendant in the viral video is complaining of severe migraine and a ringing sensation in his ear.
He also added that the female customer is also traumatised.
The Burma Camp Pharmacy owner is quoted by GHOne TV to have stated, “The pharmacy attendant in the viral video is complaining of severe migraine and a ringing sensation in his ear, the lady is also traumatised”.
Also, Retired Ghana Air Force officer and Chairman of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Patrick Nelson Sogbodjor, has said that while the police may charge the officer with assault, the military would handle the case differently.
He stated, “The military cannot charge a Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) for assault; that’s a civil matter. However, after internal investigations, the military may charge him with conduct unbecoming of a senior MCO. If found guilty, he could be demoted or summarily dismissed. The police will handle the assault charge, and the military will follow up accordingly, but he cannot be dismissed instantly for assault alone,” Sogbodjor explained.
“It’s unfair to tag the military as undisciplined. The men we train are disciplined. What we saw on television was unacceptable, but it reflects an individual’s actions, not the entire force. There will always be exceptions, but the military as an institution upholds discipline.”
