Nii Baah Afful, a 29-year-old fisherman, has been remanded by the Accra-based Gender Violence Court for his alleged involvement in an assault case.
He will reappear in court on April 9, 2025.
The Accra Regional Police Command arrested Afful after a viral video showed him assaulting Francisca Aryee, a 21-year-old woman carrying an eight-month-old baby.
A statement signed by Superintendent Juliana Obeng of the Public Affairs Directorate, Greater Accra Region, on Wednesday confirmed that investigations revealed Afful and Aryee shared a home with their two children.
The incident occurred on March 20, 2025, at Korle Gonno following a misunderstanding between the couple.
Aryee had attempted to leave for her mother’s house but was pursued and assaulted.
The Police Intelligence Unit arrested Afful on March 22, 2025, at 1700 hours.
He remains in custody as investigations continue.
The statement said Aryee had been traced and was receiving medical care and counseling.
