The suspect, per information gathered, accused the victim of demolishing his father’s building construction.

He is said to have mobilised some persons to attack the victim, Amos Fosu in his home, despite the latter denying the accusation.

Amos was stripped naked during the abuse and was subjected to intense beating, leaving him with bruises all over his body.

Source revealed that, there is a land litigation between Fetteh Kakraba and Gomoa Fetteh Stool which resulted in the attack.

Meanwhile, the matter was reported to the district police who picked up the suspect into custody before handing him over to the Military police.

Investigations have since commenced.

Wife of the suspect has gone on a rampage, declaring war on the suspects for exposing her husband’s nudity to the entire community.

Per a police situational report, the five suspects snatched a Toyota Camry and other items from one Adam Abdul-Gafaru at gunpoint in Tamale.

The activities of the suspects were traced by a tracking machine which alerted that they were heading towards Buipe direction.

Though he took to his heels, his legs could not carry him faster than the military officials who arrested him before he could even escape.

In the latest video which found its way to social media, the civilian could be seen in the grips of a couple of military personnel who seem offended by his actions.

Despite his plea for mercy, the unidentified young man was whisked away.

Many have attributed the video to lockdown enforcement in Kumasi and its related fallouts but the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has come to state that the video has nothing to do with Coronavirus and lockdown in parts of the country.

Director of Public Affairs of the Ghana Armed Forces, Col Aggrey Quashie denied the linkages being drawn by sections of the public, insisting the incidence in the video happened somewhere last year.

Below is what Col Quashie told Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen Wednesday afternoon:

A video in which a civilian is seen hitting a Military Officer is fake. It is not linked to this lock-down operation at all. It is old video – Col. Aggrey Quarshie (Director of Public Affairs- Ghana Armed Forces) #Ekosiisen

The GAF’s position has, however been contested by sessions of the public who are wondering what kind of operation would have warranted the military officers wearing a nose mask in 2019.

Below is the video of the arrest:
