The Ghana Police Service, through the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), has arrested a suspect captured in a viral video physically assaulting a woman.
The suspect, Christford Affadu Danful, also known as Ekow Black, was arrested on Thursday, January 15, 2026, following an intelligence-led operation by the Inspector-General of Police’s Special Cyber Vetting Team.
The arrest comes after the video, which shows the assault, circulated widely on social media and drew public outrage.
Preliminary police investigations indicate that the suspect and the victim previously lived together and had a history of disagreements, which reportedly escalated from verbal confrontations to physical abuse.
Suspect Danful is currently in lawful police custody and is expected to be arraigned before court to face charges in accordance with the law.
In a statement, the Ghana Police Service reaffirmed its commitment to public safety, stressing that acts of violence will be dealt with decisively.
“The Ghana Police Service reassures the public of its commitment to protecting lives, upholding the law, and ensuring that acts of violence are addressed in line with due process.”
