\u201cHe can\u2019t get away with this animalistic behaviour,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe won\u2019t allow this thing to slide \u2014 not at all. The military high command must up its game and ensure this does not happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n

His comments come after a viral video showed a man, alleged to be a military officer in civilian clothing, physically assaulting pharmacy workers and a customer at a drug store located within Burma Camp, Accra.<\/p>\n

According to eyewitness accounts, the altercation began after the man demanded a refund of GHS 65 for medication he had earlier sent a boy to purchase. <\/p>\n

When the attendants explained that refunds could not be issued for opened drugs, the man reportedly became furious and attacked them.<\/p>\n

In the video circulating on social media, the man is seen slapping a female customer before punching a male worker in the stomach and striking him across the face.<\/p>\n

Mr Tanko said the viral footage reflects a broader concern about accountability and discipline among individuals linked to security agencies. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe must monitor closely what goes on across social media and other platforms,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an exciting time to be a Ghanaian \u2014 people are speaking up, and we must ensure justice is done.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that conversations had already begun between relevant authorities since the incident occurred, stressing that \u201ca lot of things are going to happen\u201d in response.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
