The Ghana Police Service has arrested three suspects in connection with a viral video showing a two-year-old child being fed an alcoholic beverage at Kade in the Eastern Region.
The suspects, Tawiah Precious, also known as T’ Moni, 18; Emmanuel Dadzie, alias Shapiro, 24; and Stephen Amoako, 22, the child’s father was also arrested on Saturday, Dec. 20, 2025, following intelligence-led operations by the Police Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team at Okumani, a suburb of Kade.
Police said the arrests were triggered by the circulation of the disturbing video on social media, prompting swift investigations to identify those involved.
The toddler has since been rescued and placed under the care of the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) at Asamankese for protection, pending reunification with the child’s mother.
All three suspects are currently in police custody and are expected to be arraigned before court. Meanwhile, police say efforts are ongoing to locate and arrest two additional suspects identified as Afram Bright, also known as Mogabe, and Panyin, who remain at large.
The Ghana Police Service reiterated its commitment to the protection and welfare of children and urged the public to promptly report cases of abuse, neglect or exploitation to law enforcement agencies for immediate action.
