The New Force issues apology over assault involving security guard – Nsemkeka
The New Force political movement has issued a public apology following a viral video showing one of its security team members physically assaulting a supporter.
The incident, which occurred during a recent event, involved a supporter who was merely attempting to engage with the presidential candidate.
He was, however, allegedly kicked in the chest in an attempt to prevent him from gaining access to the leader.
In a statement signed by General Secretary Charles Yomekpe, the group described the act as “deeply saddening and disturbing,” emphasising that the assaulted individual posed no threat and deserved only dignity and respect.
“We extend our sincerest apologies to the victim, their family, and to all Ghanaians,” the statement read, condemning the conduct as unjustifiable and out of line with the values of the movement.
The New Force further revealed that an internal investigation has been launched, and disciplinary measures will be taken against the perpetrator.
They also expressed gratitude to the public for holding them accountable and pledging to prevent any recurrence of such behavior.
