A heated misunderstanding erupted between the driver of a Ford pickup truck and a Ghana Police Service officer at Obuasi in the Ashanti Region on Friday.
The confrontation escalated when the officer cocked his service rifle.
According to a post shared on the social media platform X by an account named Sikaofficial, the incident intensified after the occupants of the vehicle reportedly offered the officer GH¢50, which the officer deemed insufficient following a demand for a monetary settlement.
In a video of the incident, the police officer can be heard repeatedly instructing the driver to step out of the vehicle, but the driver refused.
