A dramatic incident unfolded in Kumasi when a Trotro driver dragged an MTTD officer on the bonnet of his vehicle in a shocking attempt to evade arrest. The disturbing scene was captured in a now-viral video circulating on social media.
In the footage, the officer from the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) is seen clinging tightly to the moving vehicle’s bonnet as it drives through traffic. According to eyewitness accounts, the officer had attempted to arrest the driver, but the suspect resisted and sped off with the officer still attached to the front of the vehicle.
The exact reason for the attempted arrest is not yet clear, but sources suggest the driver may have committed a traffic offence before trying to flee the scene.
This incident has sparked concern about growing indiscipline on the roads and the risks police officers face during enforcement duties. The sight of a Trotro driver dragging an officer in Kumasi has triggered public outrage and calls for swift action against the driver.
Authorities have yet to issue an official statement, but the Ghana Police Service is expected to investigate and take appropriate action.
The video adds to a string of recent incidents involving confrontations between commercial drivers and law enforcement officers, raising questions about road safety enforcement and respect for the law.
