A young unidentified man has received moderate beatings for stealing ‘wele’ at Nkawkaw in the Eastern Region.
The young man whose name is unknown and why he committed such act is seen in a video making rounds being harassed and partially assaulted by a group of people.
It’s unclear when the incident happened, however, from the look of things, the incident was recent.
In the video, the young man is seen surrounded by a group of people who asked him to carry the bowl of wele he stole.
He was later escorted into a tricycle.

In other development, Ghanaian Twitter users have vented their spleen after the Minister of Finance Ken Ofori-Atta said the government’s payroll is full and that the youth must venture into entrepreneurship to boost the economy.
He made this statement over the weekend while addressing the 2021 graduating class of the University of Professional Studies-Accra (UPSA).
Mr Ofori-Atta said the role of the government is to create the enabling environment and establish micro-stability for business in the country adding that 60% of the government’s revenue is used to pay 650,000 Ghanaians.
“The future for you in regard to jobs is the most important thing for you at this stage, and we have gone through a period when most people look for a job from government or state institutions, but that payroll is full,” he stated.
“I can tell you that because we are spending about 60 per cent of our revenue on remunerating some 650,000 people, and that is not sustainable,” he added.
Right after the video of his speech hit Twitter, many users expressed their disappointment in him and the government.
