The suspect (R) being interrogated after the arrest
A police officer has been captured in a viral video threatening a suspect during an interrogation in an alleged criminal case involving a taxi robbery scheme.
According to reports, the suspects posed as a taxi driver and a passenger to lure unsuspecting victims. Once inside the vehicle, the victims were allegedly robbed of their belongings, mainly mobile phones.
In the video, the officer is seen aggressively questioning one of the suspects and threatening to release him to an agitated crowd if he fails to confess.
“Herh! Are you the one who took the phone? I am asking you a question. If you don’t tell me the truth, I will make them kill you,” the officer is heard saying.
A man behind the camera is also heard urging the officer to be patient with the suspect.
“Aban (officer), have patience,” he said.
The video, which was first shared on social media by Sikaoffial’s handle, was captioned, “Residents have nabbed two suspected armed robbers who were reportedly posing as a taxi driver and a passenger to rob unsuspecting victims seeking to take a taxi.
“The two were arrested and handed over to personnel of the Ghana Police Service after their attempt to rob a young man failed. Other passengers who had previously fallen victim to their operations also rushed to the scene to retrieve their stolen valuables, mainly mobile phones.”
