President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo has strongly condemned the spreading of ‘foreign’ videos purported to be that of Ghana’s security operatives.
He said those behind the spreading of such videos will be dealt with when found.
Social media was flooded with several videos of security operatives manhandling citizens following the implementation of a partial lockdown in Greater Accra and Kumasi.
However, most of these videos have been described as 'fake' by the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF).
Speaking to this in his 5th address to the nation, following the outbreak of the coronavirus, President Akufo-Addo said: "I'm extremely perturbed by the actions of a few unpatriotic persons who are deliberately circulating old videos of alleged brutality by members of the security agencies but largely of foreign origin and presenting them as though they were new incidence by Ghanaian security personnel…it is sad, unfortunate and must end. There is nothing to be gained in the distribution of such videos…Who gains from such conduct? Nobody in their right senses! "

@HolyGhost: you are using a phone or computer that is connected to the internet with a specific IP address. You can be located anytime, anytime...so just wise up and be a bit more responsible on public platforms. Civility is good for democracy and freedom of speech. But your likes are threatening our democracy everyday! Be-warned! With a simple laptop, I can doctor any video with voice and scenes and circulate it for any reason I want. Why do you thing European courts do not accept private video evidence in court?
@ Holy Ghost Do you think you can not be trace and arest? Mark it on the wall and cont,
You have always been phooolishh on this platform. With technology one can insert a voice message into a video which was recorded separately and make it seem as though the two video and voice were originally recorded together. You are not smart after all. Respect the elderly you infidel.
Goodness me Mr president, don't be a silly, did you hear the language spoken in those videos, why are covering up every wrong thing that happen under your government, do you think you are God?
