The Ghana Police Service has announced the arrest and prosecution of the manager of a savings and loans company at Nkawkaw, in the Eastern Region, who was captured in a viral video assaulting a female worker.
In a series of posts shared on X on Friday, June 28, 2024, the police stated that the manager, identified as Ayivor Elikplim, was arrested on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, and arraigned before a court on Wednesday, June 26, 2024.
The police indicated that the accused person was convicted after he pleaded guilty to the charge against him and was remanded into police custody.
“The Ghana Police Service on June 26, 2024, arraigned the accused person, Ayivor Elikplim, who was arrested on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, for assaulting a female work colleague at a financial institution in Nkawkaw.
“He pleaded guilty to the charge against him and was convicted on his own plea of guilty and remanded into police custody to re-appear on June 28, 2024,” parts of the tweets read.
The police added, “Ayivor Elikplim appeared before the Nkawkaw District Court today, but the sentence has been deferred to Tuesday, July 2, 2024. The photograph of Ayivor Elikplim has been published because he has been duly convicted by the court.”
Background:
A report by Onua FM described how chaos erupted within the company's office following a heated argument between the manager and the employee.
The host of Onua Maakye, Captain Smart, reported that the manager insulted the female employee about her appearance during the altercation.
The employee allegedly retorted, "If that is what you say I am, then I am also prettier than your wife," a remark that enraged the manager.
A video reviewed by GhanaWeb showed the furious manager throwing punches at the employee, who tried to shield herself by covering her head.
The report also stated that colleagues who attempted to intervene and stop the assault were attacked by the irate manager.
