A man deemed to be a serial thief was subjected to corporal punishment at Tema by some residents.

It is unknown if the suspect stole any valuable item, but in a video gone viral, the residents could be heard reprimanding the suspect for being present at the vicinity despite several warnings.

The suspect was made to kneel and carry several cement blocks on his head.

Ghana's laws frown on what is mostly referred to as instant justice by civilians. It is the responsibility of every citizen to report suspected offenders to the security agencies for the appropriate actions to be taken.
