Popular Kumasi based film director Frank Fiifi Gharbin has gone on a long social media rant claiming he has been physically abused by police officers at the Kumasi depot.

According to the ace film maker, the officers launched a physical assault on him after they realized he (Frank) had captured them in a video he had shot on location.

He further stated that the police officers in question were having a good time as he took pictures and videos for his film project. He was however unlucky to have captured the drunken police men much to their annoyance.

He claimed that they descended on him, deleting and formatting everything he had on his mobile phone. When he complained to them, he received slaps in return.

Read his full post on his Facebook Timeline after the incident.

Ghana is more save to live because the police who suppose to protect us are rather molesting us for their own interests..on the 15th of December, the police assaulted and molested me like a thief..its only by his grace that I’m still alive.. Early in the morning.. Some police officers from.. The Kumasi police depot, paradise were at Lee mart spot drinking.. As a civilian I was also there because I have to meet an elderly man there.. For me as a film maker, the location was nice, like everyone, I was taking a selfie of myself, then one drunk police officer and a lady came and I said, I’m filming them to social media, I told him, no, I’m not a fool to come face to face to shoot police drinking.. They ceased my phone and formatted it, when I told them, they had no right to do that but to me to charge office.. That was when he slapped me, like typical Ghanaian police, all the rest did not even ask why, anyone at will come and slap you from behind..its about time we say no to police brutalities, it’s about time we say no to instant justice and mob action… Kumasi police depot,so is that how you were trained with the tax payers money .. To drink in the morning and molest civilians? Let’s all say no.. If your a writer or blogger blog… If you a civilian.. Write.. Kumasi police depot… We…we say no to police brutalities on civilians… Ghana police.. Enough is enough… Say no to bribery and corruption by the police.. Kumasi police depot… Please stop drinking in your uniforms… Merry Christmas to you all… It’s a long time I came…still love you all..
