'2PM,' a notorious Kumasi-based armed robber, has narrated the ordeal he suffered at the hands of Commissioner of Police (Retired) Kofi Boakye following his arrest several years ago.

In a viral video clip sighted by GhanaWeb on TikTok, the reformed criminal recounted how he was confronted by police officers led by Kofi Boakye, who was then the Ashanti Regional Commander of the Ghana Police Service.

He recalled that upon arriving at the police station, the retired Commissioner of Police, now the Director of Operations at the Office of the President, subjected him to severe beatings.

"When I got to the police station, he (Kofi Boakye) called me three times… He took a cane from his wardrobe and gave me a few lashes. I thought that was it, but all of a sudden, I received a mighty slap on my right cheek.

"The slap made me partially blind in my right eye. I sat down, and he started calling my name again '2PM' but this time, I could not respond. I couldn't lift my head, and he was laughing at me," he recounted.

He added, "Swelling started in my right eye. It swelled until my eye was completely shut."

'2PM' further revealed that the abuse did not end there, stating that a severe blow to his stomach caused him to lose control of his bowels.

"I thought that was it, but I didn’t know it was just the beginning. One of them (the police officers) hit me in the belly with a wooden plank, and instantly, I soiled myself. My trousers were filled with feces.

"Kofi Boakye was just laughing at me… They knew I was going to soil myself. If I hadn’t, they would have hit me again," he said.

@theghanainsider1 How Rtd. COP Kofi Boakye Brought Down and disciplined the Infamous Armed Robber “2PM” Ghana has had its share of notorious criminals, but few inspired as much fear as 2PM, one of the most ruthless armed robbers in the country’s history. However, his reign of terror came to an end when he crossed paths with the fearless and highly esteemed Retired Commissioner of Police (Rtd. COP) Kofi Boakye. The Notorious Era of 2PM For years, 2PM and his gang wreaked havoc, carrying out high-profile robberies and consistently eluding law enforcement with astonishing skill. His name alone was enough to instill fear, and many believed he was untouchable. Despite relentless police efforts, 2PM always found a way to evade capture—until COP Kofi Boakye took matters into his own hands. The Officer Who Refused to Back Down COP Kofi Boakye was widely known for his uncompromising stance on crime. Under his leadership at the Police Regional Command, violent crime saw a significant decline, and he became the officer criminals dreaded the most. When 2PM’s actions became intolerable, he devised a meticulous plan to put an end to the robber’s reign once and for all. The Operation That Changed Everything With extensive intelligence gathering and careful strategy, COP Kofi Boakye and his elite team closed in on 2PM. The infamous criminal had been hiding in a safehouse, confident that no officer would dare confront him. But in a highly coordinated raid, the police stormed his hideout, catching him completely off guard. Faced with no way out, 2PM attempted to resist, but COP Kofi Boakye’s team was more than ready. The operation was swift, calculated, and left no room for escape. Ultimately, 2PM was subdued and taken into custody, marking the end of one of Ghana’s most feared criminal empires. Justice Delivered With 2PM finally behind bars, the nation breathed a collective sigh of relief. His capture stood as a testament to the brilliance, discipline, and fearless leadership of COP Kofi Boakye. It sent an unmistakable message to criminals—no matter how powerful they believed themselves to be, the law would always prevail. The Legacy of a Fearless Leader To this day, Kofi Boakye’s name commands respect and admiration within law enforcement circles. His ability to dismantle criminal networks like 2PM’s cemented his status as one of Ghana’s most formidable officers. Though retired, his legacy endures, a lasting reminder that strategy, discipline, and courage will always triumph over crime. #theghanainsider #ghanatiktok🇬🇭 #ghanatiktok #ghana #fyp #viral #viralvideos ♬ original sound - theghanainsider
