The incident occurred after reports from road users alleged that the officer was extorting money from drivers.

The Confrontation

In the video, the Mayor is heard ordering the police officer to remove his helmet, allegedly to reveal his identity. However, the officer refused to comply, citing that it would be a violation of the Ghana Police Service’s rules on proper dressing.

Allegations of Extortion

The Mayor accused the officer of collecting money from drivers, but the officer denied the allegations, asking the Mayor to provide evidence. The officer’s defiance eventually led the Mayor to walk away, instructing his team to leave the officer alone.

Implications

The incident raises concerns about police extortion and the need for accountability. The Mayor’s actions demonstrate his commitment to addressing the issue and ensuring that citizens are treated fairly.

Conclusion

The video highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in law enforcement. It remains to be seen whether the Mayor will take further action against the police officer.
