The alleged military officer who was caught in a viral video brutally assaulting two civilians at a pharmacy at Burma Camp has been arrested by the Military Police.
The suspect, identified as Williams Mensah, was arrested in the early hours of Thursday, October 30, 2025, at his residence inside the Burma Camp military barracks, following public outcry over his actions.

In videos shared by GHOne TV on October 30, 2025, about four fully dressed military police officers could be seen speaking with another man in plain clothes, who appeared outraged over Mensah’s actions.
Mensah, who was in plain clothes, stormed the pharmacy at Burma Camp on October 29, 2025, to demand a refund of about GH¢ 65.00 after rejecting medication he had sent a boy to purchase on his behalf.
The attendant reportedly informed him that drugs sold are non-refundable, which infuriated the man and led him to assault both the attendant and the woman.
The visibly angry man, while exchanging words with the attendant, pushed a female customer who was also present in the shop and began physically assaulting her.
He landed several slaps on the woman’s face before proceeding to beat and slap the male attendant, who was behind the counter, as well.
Despite attempts by other people to calm down the alleged military man, he refused to stop and went after the female customer, who had by then exited the shop after the assault.
