Seven military officers, including senior officers and a driver, have been remanded by the Suame District Court in connection with the alleged assault of some civilians, leading to the death of two victims.<\/p>\n

The officers are reported to have assaulted three men who were arrested on March 28 and taken to the 4th Infantry Battalion barracks.<\/p>\n

The bodies of two of these victims were subsequently found at Danyame, a suburb of Kumasi.<\/p>\n

The victims are Kwame Adu, also known as Ogee, Kwabena Sarfo, and Christian Obiri Yeboah, popularly called Kofi Yesu.<\/p>\n

The prosecution says they were rounded up by uniformed military officers over accusations of stealing a mobile phone belonging to another civilian, after which they were taken to the 4BN barracks and beaten before being dumped at Danyame.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
