The Minister criticized the gang action and sexual assault of a lady who was seen harassed and stripped naked leaving just her red bra on. The viral video has since made rounds on social media after the incident happened in Kumasi.
A group of agitated young men are seen harassing and molesting a woman alleged to have stolen GHC 1100 at a shop in the busy hub of the Kumasi Kejetia Station. The men mercilessly strip the suspect naked, force her legs open and abuse her while parading her in shame on the streets as onlookers huddle around to hoot and video.
The 2 minute 54 sec video is all sorts of heart-breaking. Not only is the woman’s rights being unbelievably violated, the very mindlessness and cruelty of the perpetrators tarnishes the perceived image of Ghana as a haven of tolerance and hospitality.

Madam Otiko Djaba has charged the police to bring the perpetrators involved in that act to book.“I know the police will crack this case if they need to, this is pure CID action,” Ms Djaba addressed.
Commenting on the matter, Ms Djaba said it was a pure case of “violence against women” which should not be taken lightly.
Meanwhile, the victim was later taken to the hospital to seek medical attention after which she was discharged following an intervention by the police.
