The Ghana Police Service has condemned the assault on one of its officers in Accra by some motorbike riders.
The incident occurred on Friday morning when the officer, a member of the Motor Traffic and Transport Department of the Ghana Police Service, tried to stop about 200 motorbike riders who were in a funeral procession to the Awudome cemetery from blocking the road.
But for the timely intervention of another police officer, it would have led to a fatal attack on his colleague at the Abossey Okai roundabout.
