A civil lawsuit is planned against Bills Micro‑Credit Company Limited and its staff. This action comes after a video circulated online showing a woman, identified as Hagar Emaser, allegedly being assaulted by company workers.
The lawyer for Ms Emaser, Ross Osei Owusu, confirmed the planned legal action. He is a private legal practitioner.
The video shows a woman being physically handled by several individuals. The location where the incident occurred is not specified.
Ms Emaser is described as a petty trader. The details of her transaction with the micro-credit company are not yet public.
The lawyer stated that the lawsuit will proceed against the company and the individuals involved in the alleged assault.
This development highlights concerns about the methods used by some micro-credit institutions. It is expected that the court will examine the evidence presented.
