In response, Bills Micro-Credit Limited confirmed that the officers involved had been suspended immediately following a directive from the company’s board.

The company condemned the incident and stated that it had launched internal investigations to determine the full circumstances of the confrontation.

The Kwabenya District Police Command has taken four field officers of Bills Micro-Credit into custody in connection with the incident, which occurred at Ashongman Estate. The arrests, executed on Sunday, March 15, 2026, follow public outrage after the video went viral on social media.

According to Superintendent Juliana Obeng, Head of Public Affairs for the Accra Region, Hagar reported the assault on March 13. The suspects, identified as Denis Wornyo (38), Albert Amarh (40), Ebenezer Amartei (23), and Atsu Lawson (27), are assisting police with investigations and have provided caution statements.

The incident has reignited conversations about the practices of some microfinance institutions in recovering debts, with calls for stricter regulation to protect clients, particularly vulnerable individuals such as single mothers, from abuse.

Speaking on his show “With All Due Respect” on Loud Silence TV, Kevin Taylor condemned the actions of the suspects, disclosing how bad what they did was.

According to him, he would not discredit the company or bring them down because of the four staff, however, he noted that microfinance institutions should strategise how debts would be retrieved when setting up the constitution.

He claimed there has been an alleged trend where some microfinance institutions turn to abuse their customers, which must stop. The media personality sent a strong warning to these companies, including Bills Micro-credit, claiming there might be retaliation if any institution repeats the same action.

He added that if these institutions are not ready to go through the pain to collect their money legally, it would be better if they do not venture into such business.
