Ghanaian TV Africa journalist Samuel Adobah was badly beaten by a uniformed military officer while he was on assignment to report on the lockdown situation in the Ga Central Municipality of the Greater Accra Region. According to reports, he passed a first military checkpoint after showing the guard his press card. Minutes later, he was hit over the back of the head by another soldier and beaten while laying on the ground. Despite protests from people nearby that he was a journalist, the soldier continued to assault him and purposefully smashed his mobile phone before driving away.
