- They later asked to take her to the GREDA estate police station which was the nearest security post in the area
A young Ghanaian lady shared a video of an encounter with the police, which caused them to take her to the police station.
In the video, the lady recounted that the police officers stopped the car she was in and asked to search her bag. She was watching a video on her phone when the police stopped the Bolt, she was in.
However, she refused to allow the officers to look through her bag.
"I was in a Bolt right now and the police stopped us. I thought he was even coming to check the driver, but he wants to check my bag, and I'm asking if I fit a description. He said no, but once he suspects I look suspicious, he wants to search my bag."
The lady suggested that they go to the nearest police station, so the case is looked at in detail.
The two police officers joined her in the car and headed towards the GREDA estate police station.
One of the officers allegedly got aggressive and threatened to handcuff her to the police station, but the other officer asked that they join her to the station as agreed.

She is so confident because she knows her right. And she didn’t disagree when they wanted to take her to the nearest police station. A police man once kept an item in my bad and arrested me for having tramadol with me. Since then,i have never allowed any Police Man to search my bag
