Some men, believed to be military personnel in the Western Regional capital of Takoradi Monday night allegedly bullied some innocent civilians near Amanful Main Spain, a suburb of Takoradi.
DAILY GUIDE gathered that the purported military personnel went berserk at the Amanful area and allegedly assaulted anyone they met on the street.
According to sources, the supposed military men, numbering about 20, were retaliating an alleged assault on one of their colleagues the previous day.
Some people also alleged that the security men took the action because a mobile phone belonging to one of their colleagues was snatched by somebody at the Amanful area.
DAILY GUIDE gathered that the military person, whose phone was purportedly stolen, went back to the barracks and informed his colleagues about the incident.
The military men then reportedly mobilized themselves, stormed the area and manhandled anyone they set their eyes on.
One of the assailants was identified as a former goal keeper of a football club who is believed to be among the new recruits.
In the process, about 10 male residents in the vicinity sustained various degrees of injury.
The victims later reported the case to the police with the help of the assembly man for the area and were given forms to attend to hospital for treatment.
A police source confirmed the incident to DAILY GUIDE and stressed that the case was under investigation.
Meanwhile, some residents in the Sekondi-Takoradi metropolis have vehemently spoken against the alleged brutality by the purported military guys, stating that the days when the military brutalized the civilian population were over.
It would be recalled that some few months ago about 20 personnel of the Ghana Air Force base in Takoradi went on rampage at the Kwesimintsim Police Station in the Western Region, attacking two police personnel on duty.
“The military is there to protect and defend the people and the territorial integrity of the nation at all times and not to brutalize civilians or other security agencies,” a resident pointed out.

FOREIGNERS WITH THEIR COUNTERPARTS IN GHANA ARE DOING GALAMSEY POLLUTING OUR RIVERS YET THESE SOILDERS CAN'T STOP THEM ALL THAT A GHAIANAN SOILDER KNOWS IS BRUTILIZING HIS VERY KNOWN GHANAIAN FRIEND BECAUSE HE'S NOW WEARING THE UNIFORM. UNCIVILISED SOILDERS
Have started any war that you invited Ghanaian Soldiers to partake and they refused just because they were afraid to come fight? it is becomes the soldiers have been relegated to the barracks, that is why the country is witnessing such indiscipline. Pick-pockets are all over, those in the area know them very well or are even the pick-pockets but will not name them. To know whether they are afraid or not, come into Ghana and start a war.....and return tio your so-called base in peace.
THE ONLY THING GHANA SOLDIERS CAN DO IS TO MOLEST CIVILIANS,THIS ***barred word*** MEN IN UNIFORMS CANNOT EVEN GO TO WAR BUT THEY CALL THEM SELF SOLDIERS BUT THEY ARE COWARDS.THEY SHOULD COME TO WHERE WE ARE NOW AND SEE BRAVE MEN FIGHTING ON THE GROUND SO THAT WHEN THEY GO BACK THEIR COUNTRY THEY WILL STOP FIGHTING THE MARKET WOMEN BASTARDS AND COWARDS.
