The Ghana Police Service has interdicted Detective Corporal Baba Amando Ibrahim, stationed at Tuna Police Station in the Savannah Region.
In a statement, the Service cited the Detective for professional misconduct.
This comes on the back of a viral video that captured Corporal Ibrahim repeatedly slapping a handcuffed man and ordering him to “go down.”
The visibly distressed man suggested he would cooperate if spoken to calmly, but the officer persisted, grabbing him by the neck during the altercation.
The Police have said that the interdiction is an immediate step to facilitate a thorough investigation into the officer’s conduct, in line with its regulations.
Additionally, Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, according to the statement, has reached out to the victim’s family, assuring them of the necessary support.
The IGP has directed the Savannah Regional Police Commander to collaborate with the family to ensure the matter is addressed appropriately.
The Police reaffirmed their commitment to upholding professionalism and accountability within the Service.
