Police at Agona Nkwanta in the Western Region have arrested a 30-year-old farmer, Emmanuel Kwofie, in connection with an alleged assault on his wife captured in a widely circulated video.
Kwofie, a native of Dixcove, was arrested at approximately 7:00 p.m. on Monday, October 12, 2026. The Western Regional Police Command confirmed the arrest in a statement issued the following day.
According to preliminary police findings, the incident occurred on October 8 after Kwofie accused his wife, 25-year-old Diana Mensah, of having an extramarital affair. Police allege that he then severely assaulted her.
The couple live at Domeabra, near Agona Nkwanta, where Mensah works as a second-hand clothing trader.
Police said a bystander intervened to rescue Mensah, who was taken to the Agona Nkwanta Polyclinic. She received treatment for her injuries and was subsequently discharged.
The statement, signed by Chief Superintendent Olivia E. Adiku, Head of the Regional Command’s Public Affairs Unit, said Kwofie remained in custody and would be brought before a court.
Police did not specify the charges he would face or the date of his expected court appearance.
