DIS IS SERIOUS,DE POLICE SHOULD WISE UP AND THINK OF THEIR LIVES THAN GIVING IT OUTTO DIS TRAMOL DRIVERS.JUST PICK DE CAR NUMBER OR PERHAPS DO SOMETHING BETTER THAN STANDING IN FRONT AND BEHIND THE CAR
Very unfortunate but it time the officers think first about their personal Security. Some this deaths can be avoided with the Right training .0
They don't take GHS 10 anymore ooo! Its now GHS 30 ! I drooped off a friend before the Kaneshie bridge and the police man said I cannot drop off at that point so he sat in my car and started talking: "eh you East logon and Dansoman boys you think you know too much, I will take you to the office." I kept quiet After wasting my time and taking me to the Kaneshie police station he asked me to give GHS30 which I tried negotiating to GHS10, this didnt go well with him. He said GHS10 is an insult eish ! Since am no body in Ghana and no police friend to contact, I gave in to the institutional robbery and gave in the GHS30. They graciously took the money. lol I will not even mention the number of Trotro and Taxi drivers I met there who couldn't afford the GHS30 and were being threatened with locked up and court action.
Peace fm your English is bad , employ someone to proof read before you send your stories online.
The police are always bullying these drivers. Enforce the law in a professional manner and not at the peril of your life. Just for some 10. The driver did not do well at all.
Thank God the officer did not die. But this act of the police officer seemed unprofessional and the way the harasses drivers are not correct at all. Can't they take records and what at all did the driver commit? I wish they take the same seriousness to handle other criminal cases.The driver also must be arrested and dealt with by the law.
which english is this....The injures policeman has since been taken to the hospital for medical care. so he did not die or?
