A half-naked man identified as Tamimu has been captured in a viral video invoking curses on some police officers on Asamankese road in the Eastern region for allegedly extorting GhȻ500 from him after planting marijuana in his car.
According to the man, Tamimu, on January 2, 2022, he was driving a DV plated Toyota Corolla saloon car belonging to his friend, Nketiah Frank from Anum Apapam to Asamankese to buy a tyre for his private vehicle.
On reaching a section of the road which is close to Asamankese he met a 5 member team of Police Officers from the National Highway Patrol on board a white pick up No.GP 2517.
The Patrol Team stopped him and searched his car.
Surprisingly, one of the Police officers said he found a wrap of suspected Indian hemp on the back seat of the car which Tamimu believe was planted by the police officers.
Tamimu was subsequently arrested and assaulted. It took a friend called Abu who appeared at the scene to intervene.
Abu is said to have paid an amount of GHȻ500 on behalf of his friend before he was released by the Police.
The enranged victim decided to invoke a curse in a local river against the police officers to seek natural justice.
When a team from the Asamankese Divisional Command led by the Commander Chief Superintendent Mr Felix Apedo accompanied by his Divisional Crime Officer, ASP/Mr C.T. Apronti questioned the policemen involved, they denied planting the suspected Indian Hemp on the victim however admitted extorting GhȻ450.
Mybrytnewsroom has gathered, the Police administration has since interdicted the five police officers – Chief Inspector William Tawiah, Sergeant Ibrahim Iddi, Sergeant Richard Otoo, Sergeant Samuel Kumah and Corporal Richard Kpeanaah.
