Policeman allegedly beats brother of Gospel musician to death

It is reported that a police officer has allegedly beaten a 32-year-old man to death around the West Hills Mall in Accra.

The deceased, Shadrach Arloo, is reported to be the brother of gospel musician Perpetual Didier.

Perpetual said her brother was expected to travel to Germany today, Tuesday, January 31, 2023.

As a result, the deceased had gone to the mall to buy some items he was expected to carry along with him to his host sister in Germany.

Upon getting to the West Hill Mall, however, the police officer stationed there demanded to search the bag containing the money, eyewitness accounts have suggested.

Shadrach, according to the accounts, refused to allow the officer to search him, thereby resulting in a scuffle during which the police officer reportedly shocked him with a taser to incapacitate him.

Shadrach was said to have died from the shock, and the brutalities suffered.

According to Perpetual Didier, the case has been reported at Kasoa SCC Police station, while the body of the deceased has since been deposited at the Police Hospital morgue.

She added that the family would leave no stone unturned in demanding justice for the late Shadrach.
