Staff of the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition were allegedly assaulted by men believed to be police officers following a confrontation over reckless driving, according to preliminary accounts.
The incident reportedly occurred after the ministry staff complained to the officers about what they described as dangerous and reckless driving. The complaint is said to have escalated into a physical altercation, during which the staff members were attacked.
Details surrounding the circumstances of the incident remain limited, including the identities of the officers involved and the extent of injuries, if any, sustained by the ministry officials. It is also not immediately clear whether the officers were on official duty at the time of the incident.
The matter has sparked concern, particularly given the alleged involvement of law enforcement personnel, and has raised questions about professional conduct and accountability.
No official statement has yet been issued by the Ghana Police Service or the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition as investigations are expected to establish the facts surrounding the incident.
Further updates are anticipated as authorities clarify the circumstances and determine any disciplinary or legal actions that may follow.
