This is the ruthless police officer (Sergeant Ebenezer Asiedu) who used his elbow and fist to punch the tummy of a Ghanaian Times journalist, Raissa Sambou, a nursing mother who gave birth in December through surgery (caesarean). She was rushed to the emergency unit of the Ridge Hospital after she collapsed.
Her colleague, Malik Sullemana who received a chunk of the assault for attempting to take pictures of the scene, was locked up at the Ministries Police Station. He was l...ater released after spending four hours in cells and treated at the Cocoa Clinic.
Incident
Sergeant Ebenezer Asiedu of the Accra Regional SWAT Unit carelessly used his unregistered motorbike to hit a vehicle belonging to the Ghanaian Times near the Kinbu Traffic Light in Accra yesterday after allegedly jumping traffic.
The mirror and windscreen of the Nissan vehicle was broken as a result of his carelessness.
The Ghanaian Times driver chased and managed to block the policeman on the motor around Kinbu, a few metres away from the accident scene.
Malik Sullemana reportedly got off the vehicle and started filming the exchanges between the policeman and the Ghanaian Times driver and the policeman reportedly attempted to snatch the mobile phone but was not successful.
Angered by the development, the policeman was said to have punched Sullemana in the face, and blood gushed out of his nose.
Other police officers and a soldier in uniform who were on a patrol and chanced on the development, reportedly joined their colleague to assault Sullemana who said he was “pushed, kicked, slapped, punched, insulted and head-butted.”
