The Ghana Police Service, through the Criminal Investigation Department, has arrested a suspect captured in a viral video physically assaulting a woman.
The suspect, Christford Affadu Danful, also known as Ekow Black, was arrested on Thursday, January 15, 2026, through an intelligence-led operation by the Inspector-General of Police’s Special Cyber Vetting Team, following the circulation of the video on social media.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspect and the woman, who previously lived together, had a history of disagreements that reportedly escalated into verbal confrontations and physical assaults.
Suspect Danful is currently in custody and is expected to be put before the court to face charges in accordance with the law.
The Ghana Police Service has reassured the public of its commitment to protecting lives, upholding the law, and ensuring that acts of violence are dealt with decisively.

Police to begin full implementation of automated traffic enforcement from October 1

The Ghana Police Service, through the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), will commence full implementation of its automated traffic law enforcement programme, TRAFFITECH-GH, from October 1, 2026.
According to the Service, the programme forms part of efforts to address indiscipline on Ghana’s roads and improve compliance with road traffic laws and regulations.
TRAFFITECH-GH will use cameras and Personal Data Assistant (PDA) devices to detect traffic offences and support the enforcement of road traffic regulations.
Under the programme, detected offences will be reviewed and Electronic Notices of Violation (ENV) issued to vehicle owners or drivers through SMS. The notice will indicate the offence committed and the prescribed fine.
The Service has therefore urged all motorists, drivers and vehicle owners to comply with road traffic regulations and support the implementation of TRAFFITECH-GH to promote safer roads and reduce road traffic crashes and casualties.
