The accused women, visibly distressed, are said to have been caught stealing, although no official report or investigation confirming this allegation has been released by the police.
Eyewitnesses claim the act was intended to serve as a warning to others and as a form of public humiliation a tactic often used in rural and semi-urban areas where trust in the formal justice system is low.
However, many human rights advocates and concerned citizens have condemned the action as degrading and unlawful.

According to Ghana’s laws, even individuals accused of crimes are entitled to dignity, due process, and legal representation.
The Ghana Police Service has not yet issued an official statement on the incident, but calls are intensifying for law enforcement to arrest the perpetrators and investigate the matter fully.
This case highlights the persistent issue of mob justice in Ghana, where alleged offenders are often subjected to violence or humiliation before any legal determination of guilt.
Civil society groups have urged the public to refrain from taking the law into their own hands and instead report suspected crimes to the appropriate authorities.
As the video continues to gain traction online, the broader public is demanding accountability not only for the alleged theft but also for the inhumane treatment of the women involved.
