Thomas explained that before the fight between the police and the soldiers, the bullion van and the military pick-up were travelling at top speed in front of the police headquarters in an attempt to enter the CBD through the road in front of the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service.
But the speeding bullion van of the military escort was blocked by a police dispatch rider at the intersection, probably for using that route or speeding.
The military did not take kindly to the show of authority by the police dispatch rider, leading to the show of power by the two state security agencies.
