The Medical Report on the Modern Ghana Deputy Editor, Emmanuel Ajarfo Abugri, appears to show no evidence of torture against him by National Security.
Mr. Abugri alleged on Saturday after his release from National Security custody that he was tortured with electric shocks and severely beaten.
He was arrested last Thursday together with another staff of ModernGhana, an online news portal.
But his claims of torture appears to be a well calculated attempt to place the State security agency in bad light.
This is because the Medical Report which was to confirm his claims of torture has proven otherwise.
Reports monitored on Ghanaweb, an online portal, revealed that “according to the [medical] report which was based on physical examination and x-rays there were no abrasions or lacerations and no swelling even as at Saturday morning when the journalist was released and reported to the hospital for initial examination.”
DGN Online understands that further detailed examination and x-rays also revealed no signs of torture.
Ghanaweb quoted the report as saying: “He is anisteric, not pale, hydration is fair, chest is clear and shows no abnormalities. He also has no swelling and no reddening of his eyes”. X-ray reports also show no sign of injury to his tissues.”
DGN Online is yet to independently verify the medical report.
But media publications say the medical reports were procured with an alias Seidu Abubakr but doctors say the person in question is the same as Mr Abugri who had earlier made the first report to the hospital on Saturday.
Police are believed to be investigating why Mr Abugri used an Alias on his second visit to the hospital in procuring the medical report.

Ghanaian journalists are lazy and a bunch 1111diots, especially GH One TV Journalists. I can confidently mention one Kweku Temeng who claims to know all.
THE GUY IS CR1MINAL AS WELL AS A CROOKED, YET YOU GET SOME LAZY JOURNALISTS TO SUPPORT HIM. THEY SHOULD COME OUT AND CHALLENGE THE MEDICAL REPORT. GOD SAVE GHANA FROM THESE LAZY JOURNALISTS WHO DOESNT DO THOROUGH INVESTIGATION BEFORE COMING OUT TO COMMENT ON CERTAIN ISSUES.
And people are planning to organize a demonstration because of this person. He should be charged under the appropriate laws of the land. He has deceived a lot of people including the GJA just to win their sympathy. BEWARE CRIMINALS ARE AT WORK
