Residents of Dadease demand action from the IGP in response to viral video of police violence

locals of Dadease in the Sekyere Kumawu District of the Ashanti Region are calling on the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to take urgent steps to prevent police officers in the region from abusing locals.

On July 26, 2023, a police officer was shown in a viral video wrapping a belt around a suspect’s neck and dragging him on the floor in an attempt to arrest him.

Following widespread condemnation of the event, the police administration says the officer has been arrested and interdicted, and the IGP has guaranteed the victim’s family a thorough inquiry.

Residents in the region say that this is not a unique incident, citing complaints about police personnel in the area mistreating them, and they want the IGP to take a close look at the problem.

“The police claim that most of the guys in the area sell weed, so they are suspects,” claimed one local, Kwabena Appiah. They will arrest you and brutally abuse you. This has been going on for a long time and is very unacceptable.”

“They accept GHS500 and GHS1000.” This is a poor attitude among police personnel in this area. The police are intended to communicate with citizens and protect them, not to oppress and harass them. As a result, we are urging the government to take action.”

“I have witnessed them beating a guy with a cane to the point where he excreted,” stated another neighbour. They simply arrest individuals for no cause. They continue to do things that are unnecessary, so we want them to change.”

The victim’s family is seeking compensation because they think the treatment he received was harmful to his health.

“I travelled three days ago, so upon my return, I was informed that the police had arrested my son,” the victim’s mother, Afia Owusuaa, told Citi News. I decided to wait and bail him out the next day, but someone came in and showed me the footage of what had happened to the youngster. And I also learned that when they arrived at the station, they hung him. So I notified my uncle, who insisted on us not going to the station.”

“However, around 7 p.m. yesterday, high-ranking police officers came in to speak with us and admitted that the way the boy was handled was wrong and that the officer would be dealt with accordingly.” They also promised the IGP will call the next day, which he did.”

Ms Owusuaa stated that her son was accused of stealing iron rods and a vehicle battery, although he acknowledged removing the iron rods.

She said that the police had to recompense him with money and a job to guarantee that he did not steal anything again in the future.

In 2019, the Attorney General launched an inquiry on NAM 1, accusing him of scamming hundreds of clients out of millions of Ghana cedis through his gold dealership enterprise. The case was adjourned numerous times until new charges were brought on August 30, 2023. Mr Appiah Mensah stated plans to unfreeze locked up cash of Menzgold clients in exchange for 650 for verification.

Limited Voter Registration: Two people detained for attempting to register twice

Meanwhile, some party operatives are pleased with the outcome thus far.

Two people were detained in Asokore Mampong Municipality for allegedly attempting to double register in the current Limited Voters’ Registration Exercise.

According to Municipal EC official Angela Afriyie Osei, the two suspects were apprehended after being validated as people existing in the Electoral Commission’s database.

As a challenge to the procedure, Madam Angela Afriyie mentions duplicate registration and efforts to register minors.

“The challenge we have been facing is about the double registration. At times when applicants come and we interrogate them, they insist he or she hasn’t registered before but when they go to the biometric column then it will come out that the person has registered.

“At the moment, we’ve handed two to the police. On male and a female. Another issue is also with the registration of minors,” she indicated.

Meanwhile, some party operatives are pleased with the outcome thus far.

“So far, we are satisfied with the entire process except some few challenges but that aside, we are very much comfortable with the process. All in all, everything is great,” an agent told JoyNews.

Black Sherif prophesy: Prophet Nigel Gaisie makes u-turn

"We see in bits and pieces, and what I saw in the spiritual realm is Sherif Black, but any logical person can make projections and deductions from it." If I hear a prophecy about Ako and my name is Akosua, I will definitely act on it," he said in parables. Regardless, the man of God exhorted those who were convinced of the prophecy to fast and pray in order to avoid death. Prophet Gaisie, who dismissed charges that his doom prophecies concerning celebrities are only for fame, stated that he will quit making them public in order to prevent insults and derision.

Nigel Gaisie, the founder and head of the Prophetic Hill Chapel, has stunned Ghanaians by backtracking on his prophecy regarding artist Black Sherif.

Prophet Gaisie had a vision in which he witnessed the mother of musical sensation Black Sherif sobbing excessively in a post on his official Facebook page.

As a result, he pushed the musician to seek safety before December, implying his impending death.

However, in a recent interview, Prophet Gaisie clarified that the prophecy is for a particular Sherif Black and not the Konongo-based performer.

“We see in bits and pieces, and what I saw in the spiritual realm is Sherif Black, but any logical person can make projections and deductions from it.” If I hear a prophecy about Ako and my name is Akosua, I will definitely act on it,” he said in parables.
