Begoro: A man accused of stealing plantains, cassava, and other foodstuffs at Begoro Christom in the Fanteakwa North District of the Eastern Region was paraded through parts of the town by the alleged owner of the stolen items.
According to Ghana Web, the incident was captured in a video where the suspect is seen carrying the foodstuffs he allegedly pilfered on his head. The procession reportedly aimed to show the owner the intended destination of the stolen items. The footage, dated September 10, 2026, depicts a group of people trailing the suspect, with a man believed to be the owner following closely behind, wielding a cane.
The video further reveals the suspect declaring, "I am a thief," presumably under duress, as the man identified as the owner strikes him with the cane, demanding a louder confession. While typical protocol would involve taking suspected thieves to the police station, the owner opted for a public parade through the town.
The details surrounding the theft incident remain undisclosed in the footage.
