The Ghana Police Service has initiated an investigation into a widely circulated video showing a young man being violently assaulted by a group of men who accuse him of theft.
The disturbing footage, which has drawn significant outrage on social media, captures several individuals physically attacking the alleged thief, raising serious concerns about vigilante justice and public safety.
In an official statement released earlier today, the police called on members of the public to assist with the investigation by providing any credible information that could lead to the identification and arrest of the assailants.
“We are appealing to anyone with relevant information to report to the nearest police station. The individuals involved in this unlawful act will be held accountable,” the statement read.
The police further emphasized their commitment to upholding the rule of law, warning that acts of mob justice will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
Authorities have assured the public that every effort is being made to bring the perpetrators to justice and to protect the rights and safety of all individuals.
As the investigation unfolds, the Ghana Police Service has reiterated its call for citizens to respect due process and report crimes through legal channels rather than resorting to violence.
