The Free Press

The Free Press highlights some of police brutalities in a lead front page story.

The paper says as the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Peter Nanfuri, struggles to salvage the sunken image of the Police Administration before the Ghanaian public, some police personnel continue to take the law into their own hands.

The Free Press says the latest example of police brutalities occurred at Boako near Sefwi Wiawso in the Western Region, where one Kwaku Nkuah, alias Kita, 23, died mysteriously in police cells on November 9, hand-cuffed.

According to the paper, other suspects in the cells claimed that before his death, Nkuah cried all night that he was dying and needed help.

The suspects, the Free Press says, alleged that instead of help, Corporals H. Charles and Lucky Goglomi, who were on duty, opened the cells in the night and brutalised late Nkuah the more.

"Early in the morning, when the cells were opened, Nkuah was found dead with his hands still in cuffs", the paper quotes the suspects as saying. GRi
