Lebanese Who Threatened to Cut Off Ghanaian Man’s Neck Declared Wanted By Police
The Embassy of Lebanon in Accra has called on Ghanaian law-enforcement officials to arrest a man, believed to be Lebanese, caught on tape threatening to slit the throat of a Ghanaian.
The bearded man, captured in the viral video clip wielding a sword he had pulled from a sheath, was heard screaming, “Come out, come out! I will cut your neck!” as a group of Ghanaian men tried to calm him in the heat of the melee, which took place on Oxford Street, Osu.
The Lebanese Embassy has condemned the action, calling on the Ghana Police Service to investigate and “to take appropriate measures against the offender”.
“We reject all forms of violence and intimidation, as well as anyone who does not treat the people of the host country with respect and in accordance with applicable laws,” the embassy posted on Facebook.
The Police Service also served notice on Tuesday (12 April) that it is pursuing various leads for the incident.
“This viral video has come to our attention and we are working on it,” police captioned the 14-second clip, which was circulated on Facebook.
