Mason Beaten Mercilessly By Taskforce
A task team created by the Afigya Kwabre South District of the Ashanti Region has subjected a mason in his 30s to brutal beatings and manhandling.
A weird video shows seven well-built men dressed in military uniform thrashing a young man.
The victim, identified by the task force team as John Okyere, explained that he is a mason and was working on a project site in Kodie when he was attacked.
“Some guys came in a branded pick-up truck with the Assembly’s mark embossed on the left and right sides of the truck while I was working at the site,” he continued. They urged me to stop working, so I decided to gather my equipment; however, they prevented me from doing so, and they jumped on me, pounding me left, right, and center.”
He explained that after assaulting him, the taskforce team left him unconscious and fled, adding that things would have turned out differently if it hadn’t been for the prompt intervention of some local neighbors who expressed concern and brought him to the hospital.
John Okyere also called for a prompt police probe to guarantee that justice is done.
