‘Devil influenced driver’ speeds off with Policeman hanging on his car bonnet
Similar to a scene from an action movie, a police
officer put his body on the line and refused to
allow a crazy driver go scot free when he made an
illegal u-turn at the Kawukudi intersection near
the Gold House traffic light on the Airport road
to Nima/Kanda.

The officer’s attempt to right the wrong of the
driver, who drove a Toyota Corolla, landed him in
a very serious trouble which could have ended his
life.

The police officer was first knocked down by the
said driver, but managed to quickly get up and
cling onto the bonnet of the car tightly.

The recalcitrant driver upon sensing danger sped
off with the police officer still hanging on the
bonnet of his car. Peace FM news, spoke to an
official of the Police Visibility Department and
he confirmed the story during the station's Midday
bulletin.

Chief Inspector Adu Amankwah, stated that had it
not been for the timely arrival of a team of
military men at the scene and other road users,
the driver would have obviously killed the police
officer.

“The driver never bothered with smashing into
other vehicles even though the police officer was
lying on his car bonnet. It was apparent his only
aim was to ensure the police man fell off so that
he could escape,” he recounted.

The suspect is currently in the grips of the
police and is being processed for court. Chief
Inspector Adu Amankwah further revealed that when
they the driver was asked why he was so bent on
getting away, "he told us it was the work of the
devil”.
