Once again, the Ghana Police Service faces allegations as Judith Yaa Kumah, arrested after a visit to the station, accuses them of misconduct.
According to Kumah’s mother, her daughter’s boyfriend was apprehended for a criminal offense on Wednesday. Seeking clarification, Kumah visited the station the next day. Despite her protests, she was informed her boyfriend was labeled as an armed robber.
Disputing this characterization, Kumah’s mother emphasized her daughter’s long-standing acquaintance with the accused, asserting his innocence. However, upon arrival, Kumah was unexpectedly detained under suspicion of involvement in the alleged robbery.
During interrogation, CID officer Clement Suputour purportedly resorted to physical coercion, using a metal object to inflict pain on Kumah’s ears in a bid to elicit a confession.
