The Member of Parliament for Kpone Katamanso, Joseph Akuerteh Tettey, has alleged that some of his constituents were forced to consume cow dung and wastewater from a slaughterhouse by some military officers.
According to the MP, the incident was an extension of military brutality on residents of Ashaiman to his area after a soldier was allegedly killed by some unknown persons over the weekend.
In an interview with Citi News‘ Nii Ayikwei, the lawmaker demanded an apology and psychological support for the affected persons.
“These military officers dragged and compelled some of the workers at Tulaku to go and drink the waste water of the slaughter House. If you know that place very well, you will be appalled by some of these activities… They were also forced to take the faeces of the cattle and that has affected them psychologically.”
The MP added that even though he is yet to receive documented evidence from the victims, the behaviour of the soldiers has traumatised his constituents.
