A driver and his mate endured some painful strokes of a cane on Friday morning from a man in military uniform at 37 for allegedly violating road traffic regulations.
An amateur video footage available to citifmonline.com showed the man in uniform subjecting the driver’s mate to some lashes, having instructed him to bend.
Reports say that the two were being punished for wrongfully parking at the 37 branch of Total filling station to pick a passenger.
Picking a passenger anywhere besides a designated bus stop violates the country’s road traffic regulations but most drivers especially in the country’s capital, Accra, blatantly violate this regulation, stopping to pick passengers or allow those onboard to alight at undesignated areas.
37 in Accra, is a military zone, hosting various military installations including the Military Hospital, Burma Camp, Air Force Officers’ mess among others.

It is very good for the soldier to show them something small. those who are talking about USA should stay there and talk about laws.even in USA people are put on death-roll, Police killed blacks like they are some ***barred word***. look at numerous leak videos of police brutality in USA. Maasa you people should give us a break for our quality soldier to show people who refuse to think something small. next time again. ***barred word***
I really love it,these trotro drivers are the cause of many road accident in accra
This is what you get for voting for NPP, human rights abuse.
next time go and take passengers there again
How i wish same treatment is meted out to those "Okada" riders in Accra and Tema. They have no respect for traffic rules especially at the traffic lights. They ride through red lights with impunity while some UUSSLESSSS visibility police men look on.
Democracy indeed. Casting your ballot alone is not practicing of democracy but ensuring rule of law is a major component of democracy. Which court found the driver guilty and ordered the soldier to lash him?. In the USA, taxi drivers do same but there is a law, drivers who violates these laws are given citations to pay money to the state for development. We need to grow in Ghana. The time when police and soldiers beats people should be a thing of the past. we are in 2017. Somebody should try the law and take this soldiers to the court for abuse of human rights.
This is what we need since people have decided to have brains of lunatics. Why can't we reason a little bit as people. So much F0O0LISHNESS everywhere. We can't get anything done as a nation all bcos of 1diots. Please get more Military men on roads
We need the military in the city.... The mess will stop... They hate bribe... They like to slap and that is good for the black man.
can the soldier replicate this on all our roads. the problem of Ghana is just indiscipline; when we get discipline right everything will fall in place
YES i love this. this is how "some people" in Ghana including politicians need to be treated for taking everything for granted. Sogyaman could have extend the beating to his mouth. Naaniamaa.
