The MP who spoke to the media said "They asked him [Driver] to show the papers and he said he had been sent by his boss. The other two were dropped and the driver started struggling with the taskforce until a police patrol team came in to save the driver."

Mr Adomako Mensah added that, "The car was taken to the Tesano police station, seized and parked there... I went there and there was no one to be found."

He noted that he has been using the vehicle since 2014. "I bought it from Toyota Ghana" adding that  he will inform Speaker of Parliament and will make available all documents covering the vehicle.

The legislator is not the first to suffer such fate from the task force set up by the government.

Some armed men dressed in military fatigues, suspected to be army officers, have allegedly stormed the private residence of the NDC National Organiser, Mr Kofi Adams.

According to Mr Adams, the men, numbering 15, seized all his vehicles in the company of four alleged National Security officers and personnel from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA).
