A 28-year-old man who was arrested after driving recklessly in Accra is expected to appear in court later today, Monday, October 25.
The young man, Kofi Sasa, was seen in a video that has gone viral, driving a grey Mercedes Benz at the Airport junction off the 37- Legon road in Accra dangerously.
He was arrested by the police after and his vehicle, a Mercedes Benz with registration number C 16 – 18 also impounded at the Airport Police Station, after seen in the video drifting dangerously under a traffic light that had signalled motorists to stop on Saturday, October 23.
Police say Mr Sasa turned himself in on Sunday morning with some relatives as the Airport Police Station began investigations into the matter.
He was subsequently detained until processes for him to be arraigned were completed.
In an interview with Accra-based Joy Fm, as monitored by Ghanaguardian.com, the Divisional MTTD Commander, Supt John Atanga, explained that “I’ve just given them [suspect’s family] a call to come so that he can be granted bail, and then we go to court tomorrow.”
“These days, we have cameras everywhere. So you don’t [break the law] and go free,” he added.
