National Coordinator of the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP), Nii Lantey Vanderpuye, has strongly condemned the actions of a Ghana Air Force officer who was arrested for allegedly assaulting a woman and a pharmacist at Burma Camp.

The officer, identified as Warrant Officer Class One (WO1) Mensah Williams, reportedly attached to the Office of the Chief of Staff, was arrested by military police after a viral video captured him physically attacking the victims inside a pharmacy within the camp.

According to sources within the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), the incident occurred earlier this week. The video shows a tall, dark-complexioned man angrily confronting a pharmacist before slapping him and then turning on a female customer who tried to record the altercation. The footage further depicts the soldier striking the woman several times on the head.

Reacting to the development in an interview on Thursday, October 30, Mr. Vanderpuye described the incident as “horrible” and called for the soldier’s dismissal from the service.
