He explained that the officer chased him with a motorbike to Mallam Junction and forcefully tried to take his car keys.

“When I got to Mallam junction, my vehicle was crossed by a motor rider. I had no idea what I had done. A policeman sitting behind the rider alighted and approached my side of the car.

While I tried to get my hand closer to the key, but he started punching me many times. The passengers even complained that he shouldn’t do that since he is a law enforcer. I actually lost control of the vehicle, forcing it to move back and hit the pavement,” Buabeng explained.

“He kept hitting me; my face, mouth and other parts of my body. When my mate tried to stop him, he turned his attention to him and started hitting him as (mate) well.

“He gave me a head-butt while wearing the helmet so I had to defend myself, so we traded punches,” he added.
