Ghana’s social media space – Facebook and Twitter – has been buzzing
with a call for the arrest of a police officer for assaulting a nursing
mother.
A viral video shows the said officer in what starts like a tussle
with the woman in a banking hall. Subsequently, he is seen hitting the
woman with an umbrella and slapping her on the face.
Reports indicate that the woman, a client of the savings and loans
company, where the incident occured had arrived when the company had
closed.
She ostensibly got in despite the close of business and refused to
leave till she could withdraw a sum of 250 cedis ($50). Social media
users are calling for the immediate arrest of the police officer.
Local media portals also report that the police heirachy has
confirmed that a probe had been opened into the alleged incident and
that due process was going to be pursued.
The video continues to be widely shared on Facebook with some
prominent media personalities joining the calls for justice for the
