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 funny a soldier misbehaved this way and some Ghanaians are hailing him. How different is this from the revolutionary era where soldiers whipped women on tables? No soldier per our laws has the moral right the discipline anybody. Even the Prisons Service that has that power as corrections does not mistreat criminals in its custody. The least the soldier could have done was to pick the driver's details and report his conduct to the appropriate body for action. The Police must arrest this soldier immediately for assault. This is why some of us are calling for the military to be located out of town and not operate within civilians. 37 military hospital must be relocated or made to be managed by civilians. The military must stop living in the colonial mode and stop brutalizing civilians.
change has come
I salute the soldier for a good work! The indiscipline on our road is too much

Majority of Hjanaians are like animals and deserve to be whipped before the mind changes this is exactly what we deserve so we can think like human. Welldone bravo and kudos to you soldier. MORE OF THOSE the mamal Ghanains still throw garbage in the gutters.
If i were to meet this soldier i will salute him a million times.This is the only way the blackman can be made to obey rules.Blackman should always be treated like an ***barred word*** before they do the right thing.I can bet this driver,all his relatives and friends will never ever pick passengers at the wrong place again.

Kwabena why are ndc guys are dooo desperate just 4 months in opposition and you hv already lost it.Your accusations n equalisation are tooo artificial that nobody take you serious.
