A video showing an angry Ghanaian father physically confronting his daughter’s boyfriend has gone viral on social media and stirred mixed reactions among netizens.
In the widely circulated clip, the father is seen angrily ordering the young man to stand up and leave his compound.
The confrontation occurred after the man found his daughter seated with her boyfriend under a mango tree inside his compound.
Despite the father’s aggressive posture and repeated commands, the boyfriend remained calm and composed throughout the encounter.
He refused to stand up even as the visibly furious father hit him several times, drawing the attention of onlookers.
The young woman at the centre of the incident attempted to intervene and calm her father down. However, her efforts proved futile as the determined man ignored her pleas and continued to confront the young man.
The video has since generated widespread discussion online, with sharply divided opinions.
While some social media users have sympathised with the father by arguing that he was protecting his household and enforcing discipline, others have condemned his actions, describing them as excessive and an abuse of authority.
