The Ghana Police Service has arrested a security guard captured in a viral video assaulting a civilian at the University of Ghana.

The suspect, identified as Ebenezer Annor Darko, was picked up by the Inspector-General of Police’s Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team (CVET) and is currently assisting with investigations.

His arrest follows widespread public outrage after the video surfaced online, showing the officer—who is a member of the University’s Safety and Security Services Directorate (SSSD)—allegedly beating, stomping, and slapping the victim.

Police say investigations are ongoing and further updates will be communicated in due course.

The Service has also cautioned the public against taking the law into their own hands, urging citizens to rely on due process and allow authorities to handle such incidents lawfully.
