In a statement, the police clarified that preliminary investigations revealed the truck in question, with registration number ER 765 - 17, does not belong to the service, but rather to Road Safety Management Services Ltd. "The attention of the Ghana Police Service has been drawn to a viral video in which a truck, with registration number ER 765 - 17, with Police stickers pasted on it, is involved in an accident at Nkonsa in the Ashanti Region.
We would like to state that the said truck does not belong to the Ghana Police Service, contrary to claims being circulated on social media and other media platforms," the police said.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
In a separate development, the Ghana Police Service has been providing security for a three-day protest in Accra, organised by the group Concerned Citizens Against Galamsey, which started on Thursday, 3rd October, and will end on Saturday, 5th October.
