The Bono Regional Police Command has interdicted Police Officers caught in a viral video allegedly taking money from motorists.
In a statement released by the Police on October 29, 2025 revealed that the police officers involved in the bribery allegation have been identified.
They have all been interdicted to allow for a thorough and impartial investigation into the incident.
The Bono Regional Police Command also revealed it has launched an investigation into a video circulating on social media, which reportedly shows police officers accepting bribes from motorists.
The Police command in the statement also assured the public of its commitment to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and accountability among the Police service.
The police interdiction follows a road user in the Jaman North Municipal District who has exposed an alleged police extortion syndicate within the Jaman North Police Command, after an incident involving some officers caught demanding various payments from motorists for road infractions.
In a secretly recorded video, an officer is seen demanding an amount from the young man before another group accosted him for his resistance to comply with their demands.
The group subsequently demanded his smartphone and conducted a search for any video recordings before placing him under arrest.
Meanwhile, some Ghanaians have reacted to the Police statement saying, “@GhPoliceService which investigation again ?? U see clear evidence sanso dey talk about investigation, do u people see us as fools or wat ? Ebi diz kinda tins wey dey make de yute dey vex”.
“People don’t really understand the negative impact of bribes on a country. Assuming he’s been fined by the court for not having the right papers, he’ll pay into the government’s pocket, which will eventually be used to pay you, the worker, as well. So after pocketing, they expect to pay”, one more netizen wrote.
“Which enquiry arrested them, you say you have suspended them or were you the one that sent them? Because in the video, the leader said someone sent them”, one more X user wrote.
