She insisted not to leave the banking hall until she withdraw her money after being tossed around for four solid days.
According to report, Frederick Amanor, the Police Officer was ordered to send the woman out of the banking hall thus leading to the assault.
He was seen hitting the woman’s head several times with an umbrella before landing many blows on her head and face.He also dragged her across the floor as the woman tried to resist and fight back.
READ THE STATEMENT BELOW:
The family of L/Cpl Frederick Amanor wishes to render an unqualified apology to the President, the IGP, Ms Patience Osafo, the victim and the good people of Ghana for the untold embarrassment our son has brought unto us and the nation.
The conduct of our son was barbaric, inhumane and antithesis to the professional training in the police.
We have known Skalla as an amiable person, very caring and considerate and his conduct as captured on the tape is very unusual of him.
That notwithstanding, we are pleading with the good people of Ghana to find that forgiving heart deep down within to forgive our son.
No amount of money, words or expressions can restore the violations Ms Osafo Patience suffered. However, human as we are, offending one another is inevitable.
We are therefore pleading with Ghanaians to join us to apologize to Ms Osafo Patience for the savage beatings she suffered at the hands of our son.
We are deeply sorry and pray that the Good Lord heals n consoles her. We are passionately pleading with Ghanaians to remember our son in their prayers for the good Lord to reform his twisted mind and steer him on a decent n humane path.
We are grateful that notwithstanding the sad images this video lives in your memory, you will not dwell on the negative but help us to pray to reform such characters in the service
Thank you
