Video of Black Maria 'attacking' Ibrahim Mahama's bus emerges
Ibrahim Mahama was allegedly attacked on Friday, March 20, 2026, in Tamale. A video has emerged of the incident.
Ibrahim Mahama has accused the IGP's Special Operations Task Force, known as the Black Maria and led by DSP Bawah Abdul Jalil, of brutalising him "for no reason." The Black Maria reportedly said that they did not attack Ibrahim Mahama, but rather acted to save him from a mob. Ibrahim Mahama has rubbished the claims of the police and has insisted that they beat him up after he refused to delete visuals he took of them on the street. The video shows some men in plain clothing with bullet vests standing in front of a Red Clay bus, which Ibrahim Mahama was reportedly on. The officers could be seen pacing around as if they were looking for a way to enter the Red Clay-labelled bus.
