The Suame District Court has adjourned to June 5, 2025, the case involving seven military personnel—comprising senior officers and a driver—accused of assaulting three civilians, two of whom later died at Danyame, a suburb of Kumasi.
The victims, identified as Kwame Adu (also known as Ogee), Kwabena Sarfo, and Christian Obiri Yeboah (popularly called Kofi Yesu), were arrested by uniformed military officers on March 28, 2025.
They were allegedly taken to the 4th Infantry Battalion (4BN) barracks in Kumasi, where they were reportedly subjected to severe beatings following accusations of stealing an iPhone belonging to a civilian.
Two of the victims later died from the alleged abuse.
Police subsequently received information about the location of the bodies and retrieved them.
The case has faced delays as the presiding judge has been on leave since April 2025.
