A man in his thirties was brutally assaulted by heavily armed military personnel and National Security operatives at a warehouse property in the upscale Spintex area, which is reportedly linked to the businessman Daniel McKorley, also known as McDan.
The disturbing incident, captured on video, has sparked outrage across social media feeds.
The confrontation erupted when the victim, an eyewitness, attempted to share his observations with a Joy News journalist covering an ongoing demolition exercise at the site. As the man began to introduce himself on camera, one of the military officers abruptly intervened, commanding him to leave. What ensued was a violent assault that left many viewers horrified.
Footage from the incident shows the military officer slapping the unwitting eyewitness, followed by a brutal onslaught from four additional military personnel and two National Security operatives who joined in the attack. The defenseless man was slapped, kicked, and mercilessly forced to the ground, all while cameras were rolling. This public act of aggression has drawn widespread condemnation and ignited calls for accountability.
The reasons behind the demolition remain unclear, though sources indicate that the property may be embroiled in a land dispute between McDan and the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL). Despite the seriousness of the events, neither McDan nor the Ghana Airports Company has issued an official statement addressing the incident or the demolition.
The assault has been criticized harshly by human rights activists and media representatives, with many describing it as a blatant abuse of power and a direct attack on the freedom of the press and civilian rights. The urgency of the situation has prompted calls for a thorough investigation, with public figures urging military high command and National Security to identify and take disciplinary action against the officers involved.
As the community awaits updates, the condition of the assaulted man remains unknown, and Joy News has not yet commented on the safety of its crew who were present during this alarming episode. The outcry for justice and accountability continues to grow, spotlighting issues of power dynamics and the treatment of civilians in encounters with state authorities.
