Driver Caught on Camera Repeatedly Slapping a Young Lady Over Debt of GH¢64, Ghanaians Demand Immediate Arrest
According to TV3 GH today, Ghanaians are calling for the immediate arrest and prosecution of a driver who was caught on camera repeatedly slapping a young lady over a supposed debt of GH¢64 in Accra city.
The disturbing video, which has since gone viral on social media, shows the man unleashing a series of brutal slaps on the defenseless woman in what appears to be a heated argument.
Outraged netizens have expressed their disgust at the incident, labeling it an unacceptable act of violence that must not go unpunished. Many have called on the Ghana Police Service to take swift action to ensure the man faces justice.
"This is unacceptable! No one has the right to lay hands on another person, no matter the situation. He must be arrested and sued," one furious commenter wrote.
"The debt is GH¢64, but this act of violence deserves a serious sentence. He must be held accountable," another added.
The video has sparked widespread outrage across social media platforms, with many users sharing the hashtag #JusticeForTheLady to demand accountability.
One viewer remarked, "It's not about the money; it's about power and abuse. This man thinks he can assault her because she’s vulnerable. This must end."
Another pointed out, "These kinds of incidents happen more often than we think, and most women don’t even report them. The law must work this time."
Activists and lawyers have joined the conversation, urging the victim to pursue legal redress. Renowned feminist advocate Angela Dwamena called for broader societal reforms to address such issues, stating,
"This is not just about one man or one woman. It’s a reflection of how normalized violence against women has become. We must tackle this at its root."
The Ghana Police Service has yet to release an official statement regarding the incident, but pressure is mounting for them to act swiftly.
