A 17-year-old individual suspected of robbery, identified as Joel Nyarko, has been beaten severely for allegedly engaging in a robbery attempt at Domeabra-Police Tent opposite the Sky Roofing System in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.

The incident occurred on Monday, June 24, 2024, at approximately 4:30 AM.

Reports gathered by Kasapa News Yaw Boagyan suggest that the suspect, known as a "Gameboy" (Fraudster), resides in Swedru Dwenwoho, Agona West District, Central Region, but frequently visits his uncle in Kasoa.

Allegedly, the suspect, accompanied by a group of armed robbers in a vehicle, attempted to carry out a robbery in the community but was noticed and chased away.

However, luck was not on the suspect's side, and he was left behind as the others fled.

Enraged youth from the town then attacked the suspect, resulting in severe injuries, including a broken left foot.

After the beating, the suspect was transported from the community to the roadside in a wheelbarrow while unclothed.

An eyewitness named CD reported that after the suspect was left naked, an Okada rider passing by made a remark expressing frustration with accusations against Okada riders for theft. Subsequently, the Okada rider cut off the suspect's right ear.

However, police interrogation of the suspect contradicts the claims made by residents.

The suspect, in pain, explained that he was present to carry out an activity early in the morning when a group of individuals suddenly attacked him, robbing him of his belongings, including an iPhone, Ghanaian Cedis, US Dollars, and other accessories.

He was later taken to Amanfrom Hospital for treatment, and his father has been contacted to aid in further investigation.
