The Western Regional Police Command has arrested two suspects captured in a viral video physically assaulting two teenagers, a male and female aged 13 and 17 years, and forcing them to have sexual intercourse.
A Facebook post by the police on Friday, February 27 said the suspects, Edward Azalekor, 52, and Martin Amuzu, 35, who is an uncle to the female victim, were arrested on Thursday, February 26, at Effiakuma, following a WhatsApp video received from a presenter at Connect FM.
In the video, which has since gone viral, the suspects were seen forcing the two teenagers to have sexual intercourse in a shop in the full glare of others who were cheering, laughing, and filming the act.
Police added that preliminary investigations revealed that the female had left home in the afternoon of 16th February, 2026, without informing the mother and returned later in the night at about 7:40 pm. Her mother became annoyed and informed suspect Edward Azalekor, Assemblyman for Effiakuma West Electoral Area, to discipline her.
The suspects then lured the teenage boy to the scene and forced him to have sexual intercourse with the girl for them to see.
The accused persons were presented before the Harbour District Court at Takoradi, Friday, February 27, and they were granted bail in the sum of GHC 20,000 each, to reappear on Thursday, March 5, 2026.
The female victim is currently in the custody of the Department of Social Welfare.
Police are on a manhunt to get suspect Isaac Nana Osei, who allegedly filmed the act and is currently on the run.
