On Monday, March 16, 2026, a video emerged, showing some men in Bill Micro-Credit T-shirts engaging in a heated argument with a woman identified as Hargar Emaser.
During the confrontation, one of them reportedly seized her mobile phone, with the woman falling to the ground with a baby in her arms while grappling for the device.
The video drew strong condemnation from the public and civil society organisations, who criticised the apparent use of force in debt recovery.
In response, Bills Micro-Credit confirmed that the employees 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, which were said to have been carried out 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 statements.
The incident 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, stating that while he would not discredit the company or bring them down because of the staff, loan companies should strategise how debts are retrieved when setting up the constitution.
He claimed there has been a trend of certain microfinance institutions turning to abuse their customers over debts, which must stop, and sent a strong warning that there might be serious retaliation.
The media personality and journalist 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.
Kevin Taylor also blasted Richard Nii Armah Quaye, stating that the company begs customers to come for the loans while he moves around calling himself a billionaire, while poor customers are allegedly taken advantage of.
The media personality's reaction has caused a massive stir on social media.
