He further called on the various heads of the security task forces in charge of the lockdown operations to address the content of the videos going viral with the suggestions that their personnel are ready to beat the hell out of citizens who flout the directives of the President.

In an interview with Wontumionline.com, Mr. Antwi-Boasiakosaid:

“I am calling on the Ashanti Regional Minister and the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council to take a look at the video which is in circulation and creating fear. The Northern Sector Command of the military and Police must also provide information to calm lives. The President hasn’t given anybody power to beat people”.
