An uncle to one of the teenagers who were forcibly stripped naked, paraded in public for allegedly stealing Ghc100 has disclosed that one of the victims is having difficulties in urinating after the incident.
Mr. Kwabena Kwam aka Ofie One told Kwabena Agyapong on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm that the boys were assaulted by the two suspects arrested by the Police.
He indicated that the two teenagers are traumatized and one is currently having difficulties in urinating.
He said the boy in question is complaining of pains when urinating.
He told the host the suspects did not have the power to subject the boys to such public disgrace even if they had stolen Ghc100.
The Police have arrested two people in the Eastern Region who stripped two teenagers naked and paraded them on the streets of Akuapem Adawso.
The victims were subjected to this abuse with their hands tied after being accused of allegedly stealing ¢100 and a mobile phone.
The incident which saw the two 14-year-olds assaulted by a mob occurred on Friday, October 29 in the Akuapem North Municipality.
They were paraded without clothes through the Tinkong stretch of the Koforidua -Mamfe highway to the Adawso township.
The uncle commended the Inspector General of Police Dr. George Akuffo-Dampare for expressing interest in the case.
He alleged that some officers had wanted to make the case a foolish one but after Rainbow Radio and other radio stations broke the story, the IGP took interest in the matter.
He said the suspects failed to seek the face of the law in dealing with the alleged stealing and took the law into their own hands.
He wants them to be punished for what they did to the children by the law.
