According to details emerging about the incident, the junior police officer captured talking back to his superior is a Corporal identified only as Boakye.

It started when he and some of his colleagues from the Formed Police Unit (FPU) mounted a roadblock and began traffic checks.

However, the District Commander, Superintendent Quansah, who had been traveling on that stretch of the road in a private car, told them to stop the traffic check because it could cause an accident. This command was ignored.

The District Commander reportedly drove away after the officers ignored his order and returned to the roadblock after a few minutes, this time in an official police vehicle.

The District Commander Supt Quansah arrived at the unapproved checkpoint in the vehicle with the Station Officer and two other police personnel to get the FPU officers to clear the roads.
