Two persons are in the grips of the Northern Regional Command for allegedly subjecting an 18-year-old, Joshua Agomna, to severe beatings for stealing a gas cylinder, three mobile phones and GH₵370.
The victim was apprehended by the two suspects, Seidu Kwame, 42, and Seidu Alhassan, 43, and others yet to be identified at Gubihini, a suburb of Tamale.
He was tied, dragged him on the floor and subjected to severe beatings.
Joshua Agomna was left to bleed profusely for several hours without taking him to the police station or hospital.
According to the perpetuators, the victim stole the gas cylinder from Seidu Alhassan while the other items were stolen from Seidu Kwame.
Alhassan later reported the case to the police and mentioned Joshua Agomna as the prime suspect.
Upon his arrest by the police, it was discovered that Joshua Agomna sustained various degrees of injury on various parts of his body.
The victim informed the police about his ordeal, which led to the arrest of the two for further investigations.
Speaking to DAILY GUIDE, the mother of the victim, Christy appealed to the police to prosecute the suspects, indicating that such actions should not be allowed in society.
She stated that the punishment that the suspect would receive would serve as detriment to others who would want to engage in such actions.
Information gathered indicates that the third suspect is on the run and so the police are pleading with the general public to volunteer information.
The Northern Regional Police Public Relations Officer (PRO), ASP Yussif Mohammed Tanko, who confirmed the arrest to DAILY GUIDE, said they would conduct investigations to ensure that all perpetuators were brought to book and the appropriate punishment meted out to them.
He therefore cautioned people against taking the law into their own hands and entreated citizens to hand over the suspects to the police in accordance with the law.

Thieveryyyy and arm robbberyy are on the rise after Major Mahama's unfortunate incidence. These robberrrs think they'll be spared if they are caught. But one thing we should all know is that, what Denkyira Oboasi youth did to Mahama was deliberate. He told them he's a military man but they didnt listen to him and they didnt see him robbiingg anyone with his gun too but in the case of these robberrrs, they are caught red handed so wat again??? Allow them to be beaten severely else they'll keep on robbinggg and killing civilians and peace officers.
If those armed robbers at lapaz had been lynched they wouldnt have killed an innocent man, if the lynching happens to the main suspect then is not a case as compared to sometimes innocent people end up in such issues like Late major mahama. The mother of the victim claims the police should deal with them but has she also tell the police to deal with his son for stealing those items? This woman paa do u know the threat ur child used to take those things from the owners, if u claim mob actions shouldnt be allowed then advice ur son that stealing is also not allowed, he is lucky he survived, next time burn him to ashes
Stop this ur phoolish posts if u are hungry go find work to do cos no one is consulting u for even chalk. Nonsela

The police watched unconcerned when the suspected killers at Lapaz allowed the some members of the public to beat the suspect. This is sickening.
So we are now suppose to glorify and pamper ***barred word*** and arm robbers. If you have ever been a victim of ***barred word*** and arm robbery, then you will perfectly understand the feelings. This ***barred word*** and arm robbers needs no sympathy whatsoever because they are simply devils.
