YEN.com.gh has sighted on social media, videos of three men supposedly, police officers in uniform beating a man identified as an Uber driver.

The incident is said to have occurred around Sowutuom near the Pentecost University in the outskirts of Accra.

Celebrity blogger Ameyaw Debrah, tweeted the videos but did not indicate who filmed them.

It was also not said as to what caused the incident. What can however be seen in the videos is two officers initially accosting the driver in a blue vehicle. They apparently wanted the man to get out of his car.

Then, a passenger got out from the car to plead with the officers on behalf of the driver.

In the second video, a third man, joins the two officers in their assault of the driver.

This new assaulter is however not in an identifiable uniform. The driver was eventually dragged out of his car.

However, from the point of view of those recording the video, we could hear a voice saying that "this (the video) should be given to Peace FM."
