A New Patriotic Party (NPP) sympathizer Bilal Ibrahim has lodged a complaint with the Nima Police after he was assaulted by a group of soldiers, who claimed to have come from the Flagstaff House.
Narrating his ordeal after reporting his predicament to the police, Bilal said “when Nana Akufo-Addo came to Nima last week, I was in the company of others when a young girl was given a packet of Kalyppo by another person after she had engaged in an anti-NPP insulting spree.
“She put Kalyppo on the ground and stepped on it, the content spilling onto the dress of another person.”
The man demanded an apology from the girl but the response he got did not satisfy him and he slapped her.
“Her mother, who was standing nearby asked me to produce the man, failing which she made a call to some soldiers, one of them said to be part of the security detail at the seat of government.”
A certain Alhaji Nuhu, he alleged, directed the soldiers to his house.
At about 7.30pm on the fateful day, he said the said Alhaji Nuhu came to their house and knocked on his door and when he stepped out the man asked whether he was Bilal and as soon as he answered in the affirmative he was given a slap by a soldier from behind.
He was pulled on the ground by the Hausa-speaking soldier who would not listen to any explanation and demanded that he knelt down on the ground.
Bilal suffered bruises and cuts at the hands of the soldier who boasted that not even the Chief of Staff can stop him from doing whatever he sets out to do.
“I went to the Nima Police Station to lodge a complaint and was given a medical attention form to seek treatment. I returned the report to them for further action. I have not heard anything from them though,” he said.
It is unclear how the Police intend to deal with the case, but it’s doubtful whether the case would proceed beyond the statement form given the level of impunity across the country.
Should they want to proceed however, they can because the complainant can identify the woman who made a call to the soldiers who turned up in uniform to engage in the act of indiscipline.

even you YAW & GHANAMAN, how can you also conclude on this issue and go ahead and quote Bawumia when you have not heard from the other side? He could be narrating the bare facts or twisting the facts. Let us not draw into hasty conclusion and sort to score political points or denigrating the other party. Violence is violence and should not be entertained. we must let the police do their work.
Beads****, ticking fast****** I'm just annoyed by this primitive actions in a democracy.
GUYS, READ THE STORY WELL. HE WAS NOT THE ONE WHO SLAPPED THE GIRL SO WHY ARE YOU TWO BLINDED WITH HATRED. THIS IS THE REASON DR. BAWUMIA SAID YOU NDC GUYS DON'T LIKE READING. FORM THE HABIT OF READING AND SCRUTINISE INFORMATIONS PROPERLY.
You see how ndc are fo*ls so misuse the power we give them. When you give precious beats to the pig to play the result is destruction of your beats and that is ndc. These people don't understand democracy and the rule of law,they behave like the PNDC time when Rawlings was a soldier and even when he turned a civilian president he didn't behave the way these fo*ls in his party are doing. Ibrahim let them do it a year by now justice will be served to you through the rule of law. It's a matter of time and the time is almost here. They will all see their smoothness level that Ghana has laws and Ghana is not a banana state,if somebody slaps you do you have to call in the police or the army? Are the army responsible for civilians internal matters? They are there to defend the state against external force and the police for the internal force,unless the police need their help that the army comes in with the instructions from their leaders but not any civilian knowing you and calling you to come and beat an opposition member for somebody's stup*dity. We are watching closely and the time is tickling fast.
You have the right to slap and not to be slapped?
Daily guide at its political best........shaammee. What about the girl he slapped and he claimed someone else did so?????? the ***barred word*** must stop
