The police officer escorting the bus was said to have fired warning shots
A police patrol team has allegedly shot and killed a police officer who was escorting a passenger bus at Dawadawa in the Northern region.
The police man who was in ‘mufti’ was said to have been mistaken to be an armed robber by his colleagues.
The OA bus was heading towards the north and encountered armed robbers on the road.
The police officer escorting the bus was said to have fired warning shots, and asked the bus drive to do a u-turn when he saw the robbers fleeing the scene.
Whilst moving backwards towards Kintampo, a police patrol team was said to have arrived and so the escorting officer asked the driver to do another turn and follow the patrol vehicle closely.
When they got to the robbery scene, where the road had been blocked, the escorting officer came out of the bus and moved towards the patrol vehicle, the patrol vehicle was said to have moved ahead.
The escorting officer waited at where the road block was and fired warning shots.
The patrol officers then turned and on reaching the scene, they fired at their colleague.
The driver of the OA vehicle gave this narration on Accra based Okay FM Monday morning.
