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.
The suspects, Edward Azalekor, 52 years, and Martin Amuzu, 35, who is an uncle to the female victim, were arrested on Thursday, February 26, 2026, 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.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the female had left home in the afternoon of February 16, 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 put before the Harbor District Court at Takoradi today, Friday, February 27, 2026, and they were granted bail in the sum of GH₵20,000.00 each, to reappear on Thursday, March 5, 2026.
The female victim is currently in the custody of the Department of Social Welfare.
Investigations are ongoing to get suspect Isaac Nana Osei, who filmed the act and is currently on the run, arrested and brought to justice.
