Police in the Half Assini Division have rescued a 12-year-old boy who was brutally assaulted and tied with a nylon rope in a disturbing video that has since gone viral on social media.
The incident occurred in the New Ankasa community near Elubo in the Western Region, after the boy was allegedly accused of stealing GH₵200.
In a swift response to public outrage, the Ghana Police Service arrested two suspects identified in the video as Issah Morro, 58, and Suleman Abdul Rashid, 27. The duo were captured on camera physically assaulting the naked minor, who was seen hanging from the ceiling of a building.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the Police confirmed the arrests and disclosed that both suspects are currently in custody and assisting with investigations.
“The suspects, Issah Morro and Suleman Abdul Rashid, who were seen in the video, have been arrested and are currently in police custody assisting with the investigation,” the statement read.
The Police further confirmed that the victim has received medical care and has been reunited with his father.
“The victim has received medical attention and has been handed over to his father,” the statement noted.
The Police Command used the opportunity to reassure the public of its commitment to protecting lives and property, urging citizens to promptly report any suspicious or abusive behaviour to the nearest police station.
“The Command assures the safety of the public and urges all to report any suspicious or harmful behaviour promptly,” the statement concluded.
