A police dispatch rider, identified as L/Cpl. Mustapha Mohammed, lost his life in a high-speed pursuit of a Toyota Corolla vehicle on his motorbike from Ofankor.
According to reports, the driver of the Toyota Corolla slowed down for the officer to approach, but then suddenly hit him, causing him to fall under a moving truck which crushed him to death. The driver of the Toyota Corolla is currently at large, and an investigation is ongoing to apprehend him.
The death of L/Cpl. Mustapha Mohammed is a tragic loss to the Ghana Police Service, and our thoughts and condolences go out to his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time. His bravery and dedication to serving his country will never be forgotten.
The incident also raises important questions about the safety of police officers in high-speed pursuits. Pursuits can be extremely dangerous, and officers must balance the need to apprehend suspects with the need to protect their own safety and the safety of others on the road.

We urge the authorities to take swift action to bring the driver of the Toyota Corolla to justice and to ensure that justice is served for L/Cpl. Mustapha Mohammed and his family.
