An Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) of the Nigeria Police Force appeared startled by the assault a Ghanaian police officer meted on a woman carrying a baby in a banking hall.
The incident, a video of which has since gone viral, involves Lance Corporal Godzi Frederick Amanor of the Accra Regional Police Operations Unit.
He was captured brutally assaulting one Patience Sarfo, a customer of Midland Savings and Loans at Shiashie after her request to withdraw her total savings of GH¢270.
The officer has since been arrested with investigations begun.
But upon watching the video, the Head of the Public Complaint Rapid Response Unit (PCRRU) of the Nigeria Police Force, ACP Abayomi Shogunle, took to Twitter to take a swipe at the Ghana Police Service.
“We will never do this in Nigeria,” he tweeted on Friday.

A Ghanaian policeman beating a nursing mother in Rambo-style inside a banking hall in Accra today. Hope #EndSARS people can see the real police brutality.@PoliceNG_PCRRU
But his tweet apparently appeared not to have gone down well not only with Ghanaians but also with some Nigerians, who descended heavily on him with instances of brutality involving Nigerian police officers.

Abayomi where were you when BOKO HARAM boldly entered into one School and escaped with future 200 School young ladies? You Abayomi, you were then eating OBONO OKRA SHOP WITH EBA. Do you think Ghana police or Ghana Armed Force will sit down like women and allowed BOKO HARAM raid these School ladies away? LOOK THIS FUCKEN THING CAN NEVER HAPPEN IN GHANA BECAUSE GHANA POLICE AND THE MILITARY ARE MORE AND MORE INTERLIGENT THAN THE NIGERIAN POLICE AND NIGERIAN MILITARY.
Ghana people don't mind that Nigerian police o9fficer. This co incident normally dies not happen in Ghana since l have been in Ghana-Accra over six years ago. Ask me why did l come to Ghana to stay. The answer is Nigerian Police and the Government. Nigerian Police are ARMED ROBBERS. Formally Nigeria was Nigeria but now Nigeria is the most ***barred word*** country in Africa. What happen in Lagos alone is more than happen to the Ghanaian Lady. Relax the whole world knows Nigeria as most criminal country. Ghanaians are respected for that reason Nigerian prefer to use Ghana Passport more that Nigeria Passport. Ghanaian don't mind that ***barred word*** Nigerian Police officer
