According to sources, Corporal Christian Adjei Boateng was apprehended after a colleague noticed him pushing a Honda motorcycle with the registration number M–15–UW – 2071 across the road in front of the Police station, where a motorcycle fitting shop is located.
When the complainant and another officer arrived at the fitting shop, they discovered that the Corporal was not there.
