A video circulating on social media shows a man, accused of stealing a drum set from a church, being made to demonstrate his drumming ability to a crowd after being apprehended, with reports indicating he complied out of fear of being beaten.
According to reports accompanying the footage, the man was confronted after allegedly taking the instrument, and members of the gathered crowd demanded he prove he could actually play it before deciding what to do with him.
The video shows him seated on the ground, drumming while a crowd looks on.
The circumstances leading up to the confrontation, the man’s identity, and the specific church involved have not been independently verified.
It is also unclear whether the matter was subsequently reported to police or whether the man was ultimately handed over to law enforcement.
The incident adds to a wider pattern of viral videos depicting informal, crowd-administered confrontations with accused offenders in Ghana, a practice that many others have repeatedly warned carries serious risks, including physical harm to individuals whose guilt has not been established through any formal process.
