The husband of prominent Ghanaian broadcaster Bridget Otoo, Dr Evans Ago Tetteh, has challenged the Ghana Police following allegations of harassment against his wife during the widely-participated anti-government demonstration, #OccupyJulorbiHouse.
Broadcast journalist, Bridget Otoo levelled accusations against personnel of the Ghana Police Service, claiming they brutalized her and fellow protestors during the demonstration.
The incident took place at the Accra Regional Command, where tensions ran high.
In an audio clip obtained by GhanaWeb during a Twitter space discussion on Thursday, Bridget Otoo could be heard vehemently criticizing the police personnel for their actions, even as they cocked their guns in a tense standoff.
“You are cocking your guns, you are cocking your guns! Try it!” Bridget Otoo exclaimed in the audio clip.
Bridget and other protestors were also sighted in a video being dragged into the compound of the regional police office. Though she was able to escape from then, her shirt was torn.
Reacting to the distressing incident, Dr. Evans Ago Tetteh, Bridget Otoo's visibly furious husband, made his presence felt at the scene.
He was recorded saying, "Let them kill her and let’s see. This is a foolish thing to do. I’ll show them I am a man. I am right here. Let any police officer come try me and let’s see."
The situation unfolded as reports emerged that some protestors had been denied the opportunity to demonstrate peacefully on September 21, 2023.
Over 350 protestors, including organizers from the Democracy Hub group, currently find themselves in police custody for defying a police order in light of a court injunction placed on the planned demonstration.

Oh Mr Bridget Otuo I think your reaction is OTT. You’ve got to calm yourself down otherwise you might have a heart attack 😂😂😂😂
Two 'wise' lovers! Who advises who? Hmmmm!!!
Lawless bunch of protesters. The country does not belong to you. Why insist on protesting when the police has secured an injunction? You lot could have simply engaged the police, agree on all modalities and we move. The Police have in the past co-operated with many such protesters. Give us a break!
who is she tell her to do the right thing Ghana does not belong her or you .........we have laws in Ghana if you misbehave you will surely be dealt with ok be wise small la.
If she is killed, you will observe her 40th days in another woman's arms. Don't dare men in arms! It may be grateful! A word to the wise..........
Such ***barred word*** bravado. You guys ste always seeking attention. Ghana is not a lawless country. Once upon a time, a sitting president was ready to kill a fly with a sledgehammer
The guy is trying to show toughness, nothing will happen if the state kills your wife. In the end, you will go to court and some compensation will be paid if you are lucky the commander for the day will be interdicted for a few days which ends it. Advice her to do the right thing, and protect herself at all time.
