The Ghana Police Service has reportedly arrested 10 suspects over a viral video of a group of men abusing two women believed to have committed a taboo at Dawuranpong, a town in the Central Region.

According to a report by classfmonline.com, the arrests were conducted by the Inspector-General of Police’s Special Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team after a video of the disturbing physical assault of the two young women went viral.

The report indicated that three of the suspects — Eric Donkor, alias Killer Block, 32; Yaw Gyimah, 29; and Edmond Nartey, 24 — were identified as those directly involved in the brutal act, including cutting through the victims’ scalps with a sharp razor.

The seven other suspects who were arrested for various roles in aiding and abetting the crime are Steven Amu, 24; Farouk Balas, 18; Mensah Bernard, 18; Adu Baggeo, 23; Bismark Nyarko, 30; Akwesi Poku George, 18; and Oteng Alfred, 23.

It also indicated that a key suspect, Tawiah, alias Awaga, who was seen in the video inflicting deep cuts on one of the women, is currently on the run.

Viral video of young woman assaulting man sparks public outrage

The police are reported to have stated that efforts are underway to track the key suspect down.

In the said video, one of the men, believed to be Tawiah, is captured cutting through one of the victims’ scalps with a sharp razor as she cried in agony.

It is not clear the offence committed by the two women, but one person could be heard saying in the video that the hair on their private parts should also be cut because they might be hiding their charm there.

The key suspect is seen in the video carrying out the instruction. He stopped cutting the hair of the victim and moved on to the other.

He could be seen removing her underwear before positioning her in a way that would allow him to cut the hair on her private part.
