She said constable Ekpe was on duty on the Kasoa-Mallam road and spotted a sprinter commercial (trotro) bus with registration number AW 855-14 loading passengers in the middle of the Kasoa-Mallam highway.
She added: "The policeman approached the driver to move his vehicle from the road but the driver and his mate who were busily calling for passengers refused to move."
According to her, "the police is appalled by the kind of growing lawlessness especially by drivers and motorists on the routes of Accra and to a larger extent the entire country."
