Aggrieved youth in Wa besieged the Upper West Regional Police command, asking for the release of the three persons arrested in connection with the flogging of the two young lovers whose sex video went viral on social media.
The youth pelted the police stones and burnt tyres to express their displeasure over the arrest and to demand the immediate release of the three suspects.
It took the intervention of police reinforcement led by the Upper West Regional Police Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Peter Ndekugiri to ward off the angry youth.
Three suspects have been arrested in connection with the flogging of two youngsters over a leaked sex tape.
The three suspects include the person who brought the victims to the place and two sub-chiefs.
Reports indicate that the two youngsters in the viral sex video were nabbed by some young men in the town, who sent them to the Wa Naa Palace.
The Wa Naa was absent upon their arrival, compelling the young men to take matters into their own hands and deliver punishment.
They were given 20 lashes each.
The incident has drawn the ire of Ghanaians, who have called for sanctions against those involved.
