The Ghana Police Service has arrested 10 men following the circulation of a disturbing viral video showing the assault of two women in Dawuranpong, Central Region, reportedly accused of committing a taboo.
The arrests were made by the Inspector-General of Police’s Special Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team. Three of the suspects—Eric Donkor (alias Killer Block, 32), Yaw Gyimah (29), and Edmond Nartey (24)—were directly involved in the violent act, which included cutting the victims’ scalps with a razor.
The other seven men—Steven Amu (24), Farouk Balas (18), Mensah Bernard (18), Adu Baggeo (23), Bismark Nyarko (30), Akwesi Poku George (18), and Oteng Alfred (23)—were arrested for aiding and abetting the crime.
A key suspect, Tawiah (alias Awaga), seen inflicting deep cuts on one of the women in the video, remains at large, and police say efforts are underway to apprehend him.
The viral footage shows the brutal nature of the assault, including cutting of scalps and attempts to harm the victims’ private areas. The exact offense allegedly committed by the women remains unclear, though the attackers claimed it was related to hiding charms.
Authorities are continuing investigations and have appealed to the public to provide information that could help in capturing the remaining suspect.
