Ghanaians Demand Justice After Suspected Soldier Attacks Two Civilians in a Pharmacy
- A video trending on social media has got many Ghanaians online upset and disappointed in military personnel
- The video showed an alleged military man in plain clothes hitting a pharmacy attendant and another civilian
- Many people have called for his arrest and subsequent prosecution or punishment according to military laws
Ghanaians have expressed outrage after CCTV footage circulating on social media showed a man, alleged to be a military official in plain clothes, attacking two civilians in a pharmacy.
Reports suggested that the suspected military man sent a boy to buy medicine worth GH¢ 65.00. However, he returned this for a refund, which the pharmacy attendant did not agree to.

The attendant allegedly told the military man that the medicine was not returnable and he could not be refunded. This apparently infuriated the man, who attacked the attendant and a lady who had also come to buy from the pharmacy.
In a Facebook video making the rounds online, the customer started videoing the incident, which possibly infuriated the man, who then lashed out at her physically.
The footage showed the supposed military man attacking the lady, striking her several times before proceeding to hit the male pharmacy attendant, who was behind the counter.
Despite attempts by other people to calm down the alleged military man, he continued his attacks, including going after the female customer who had fled the pharmacy by then.
He then returned to the pharmacy, grabbed a metal foldable ladder from within the store and threatened the shop attendant while demanding his refund.
Some eyewitnesses who also tried to calm the reported military man down were also not spared, as the footage showed them being shoved as the assault on the attendant continued.
Ghanaians condemn alleged military man attacking civilians

Kaakyire Owusu Gyamfi said:
"In as much as I despise his act, if indeed his a military man, I assume he has been to the b before and is going through trauma. The psychological management of our u men after p is quite poor. My friend was experiencing such behaviour after returning home from p. It took the family to get him psychotherapy before he was stable. Let's not judge him, please."

"Uncontrolled emotion will always bury you in a pit of troubles. The possibility that he will suffer serious consequences which will affect his job as a military person over Gh 85. SMH. It is unfortunate."
