“The individual in question was unarmed, posed no threat, and deserved nothing but dignity and respect. We extend our sincerest apologies to the victim and their family, and to all Ghanaians who rightly expect better conduct from those associated with our movement”.
“We have launched an immediate investigation into the incident, and we assure the public that the perpetrator will be held fully accountable under the law and internal disciplinary processes. We are committed to restoring public confidence by ensuring that such behaviour is never repeated. We thank the public for bringing this matter to light and for holding us to the highest standard,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, Yaw Akuoko, the man grabbed by the neck and punched by Chaddar’s bodyguard has broken his silence.
According to Yaw Akuoko, he is a supporter of Nana Kwame Bediako and only sought to get closer to him.
He stated a the press conference, “It was raining and Nana was passing by, on his way, to see the queen. We were rushing to go with him and the security man turned and hit me twice,” Akuoko recounted.
“The video started trending, and Nana called me to arrange for me to come to Accra. When I arrived, they assigned a doctor to check on me. Now I’m okay and I have forgiven my brother because he himself has admitted his fault,” he added.
