Social
Commentator and controversial musician Kwame Obeng Asare known
popularly known as Kwame A-Plus, has alleged that the Ghana Police Service is a
"criminal organization".
According to
him, the police administration also has armed robbers, prostitutes as well as
drug dealers in it.
His reactions
come after some heavily-built police officers were subjected to unimaginable
humiliation by illegal miners who the officers were supposed to have arrested.
The video shows
the angry miners yelling at the police officers to register their displeasure
about a claim that they had paid the officers but they still went ahead to
arrest one of them.
One of the
civilians wearing a military camouflage was seen in the video attempting to
seize the weapon of one of the four officers while lamenting that the officers
were trying to extort money from them after they had settled their demands
earlier.
The angry
civilians seized the uniform of one of the police officers and went further to
attempt to seize an assault rifle.
It was at this
point that the officers resorted to kneeling to beg profusely, pleading with
the civilians to temper justice with mercy because of the long-standing
relationship between them.
The officers
captured in the video were attached to the Axim District Police in the Western
Region.
Meanwhile, the
Police administration has arrested four of the civilians captured in the viral
video for allegedly attacking the police officers and declared the rest wanted,
while the allegation of extortion made against the officers has also been
referred to the Police Professional Standards Bureau for investigation.
The arrested
suspects are Kojo Siah alias Mozey; Emmanuel Mensah alias Kofi Asamoah, Maxwell
Cudjoe, and Agyabu Haruna Dissawu, while Kwame Ato Asare Ani, considered the
prime suspect is still at large.
A-Plus reacting
to the development in a Facebook post said: "Ghana Police Service, a
criminal organization with a few good men!! Everything they dey inside. Armed
robbery, ashawo, drugs, you name it. And the most annoying part is how their
superiors cover up for them but go to church on Sundays."
However, a
wanted leader of a gang that attacked some police officers has granted a TV
interview from his hideout that he is not a criminal but an informant for the
police.
