An Accra High Court has adjourned the case of Lance Corporal Godzi Frederick Amanor who assaulted a customer of Midland Savings and Loans in Accra.
The substantive judge is on leave and the case was yesterday taken to another court for mention since the accused persons are on bail.
Lance Corporal Godzi Frederick Amanor is before the court on the charge of assault.
The prosecution, led by DSP George Amega, included three staff of Midland Savings and Loans to the case for the various roles they played in aiding the police officer to assault the poor woman.
A video of Lance Corporal Godzi Frederick Amanor, popularly called Skalla, attached to the Accra Regional Police Operations Unit manhandling the woman, Patience Osafo, who was carrying a two-month-old baby, went viral on social media last month.
When the case was called before a relieving judge, M.E. Essandoh, the prosecution, and the defense lawyers agreed to appear before the court on September 26, 2018.
The police officer’s attack on the woman sparked outrage in the country.
Many Ghanaians, including President Akufo-Addo, condemned the action of the police officer in no uncertain terms.
His alleged accomplices, who are the staff of the savings and loans institution, are also before the court charged for abetment of assault.
