The Ghana Police Service has remanded three suspects captured in a viral video showing a violent assault on a woman believed to be the wife of the main suspect.

According to a statement issued by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) arraigned John Odartey Lamptey, also known as Nii Adjei, before court.

He has been charged with physical assault contrary to the Domestic Violence Act, 2007 (Act 732).

Two others, Louis Odartey Lamptey and Grace Kushie Lamptey, have also been charged with conspiracy to commit a crime and threat of harm after allegedly attempting to attack a female tenant they suspected of recording and circulating the viral footage.


All three suspects have been remanded into police custody and are expected to reappear in court on December 3, 2025.

The police further appealed to the victim or anyone with credible information about her whereabouts to report to the nearest station, assuring the public of strict confidentiality for all informants.
