The Ghana Police has denied claims that a police officer, Gabriel Tabiri stationed at the Anyaa Police Station stripped a taxi driver naked at Anyaa market.
According to the Ghana Police Service Director of Public Affairs, Superintendent Cephas Arthur, the police after some investigations concluded the taxi driver stripped himself naked in his bid to avoid arrest and for public sympathy.
He says the incident which happened between the police and the driver should not be blamed on the police officer because he (police) was not at fault.
A policeman stationed at the Anyaa police station in Accra, Gabriel Tabiri, went berserk Tuesday May 2, 2017 by physically assaulting a taxi driver for allegedly jumping red traffic light.
The cab driver Kwabena Danso, who is traumatized, was disgraced in the open by the peacemaker with service number 36832.
The officer allegedly accosted him at a Fuel Station after allegedly jumping the light and ended up tearing apart his clothing.
But ASP Cephas Arthur told Adom News the findings read in part that: “The taxi driver drove through a red light at Anyaa Market junction on 2nd May, 2017.
“The Taxi driver resisted lawful arrest, struggled with arresting officer, tearing his own trousers and dress to free himself from the grips of the arresting officer.
“The Taxi driver assaulted the police officer in uniform as corroborated by witnesses” he said.
