The 24-year-old teacher, Ali Rashid, was said to have been shot at by a police officer who was stationed at the Wa main traffic light after he resisted arrest for riding an unregistered motorbike.

But the young people in the area said they were not pleased with the action of the Police Officer and subsequently hit the streets of Wa to register their displeasure about the incident.

But criticising the move by the residents, the policewoman wrote on her timeline that Wa was "hell", adding that "I don't know whether I am in hell or earth."

The said comments have angered residents with many calling for her immediate transfer from the Municipality.

Meanwhile, the Upper West Regional Minister Suleman Alhassan has announced that investigations have begun.

He said the policewoman in question has been invited to Accra to explain the circumstances under which she made the comments.
