A lawyer for Hagar Emaser plans to take legal action against Bills Micro-Credit Company Limited. The action follows a video that has been seen widely online.
The video shows the petty trader Hagar Emaser allegedly being assaulted by workers from the company. Private legal practitioner Ross Osei Owusu confirmed the lawsuit plans.
The lawsuit will be civil, meaning it is a case between individuals or organisations, not against the state.
Details about when and where the alleged assault took place have not been fully disclosed.
The lawyer stated that the legal action is a response to the alleged mistreatment shown in the video.
Bills Micro-Credit Company Limited and its staff will be named in the lawsuit.
The case highlights concerns about the treatment of individuals by some financial institutions.
Further information on the legal proceedings is expected to be released.
