According to him, he got a passenger who said he was travelling from Mile 7 in Accra to Suhum in the Eastern Region and agreed to pay GH¢80 for the trip.
During their trip, the passenger indicated he would be travelling with another person who would be picked up along the road. The driver agreed.

Midway into their journey, they met the other passenger, and he joined them on the ride. However, the passengers asked the driver to divert from the route to their destination during the journey, which he refused.
This prompted an attack from both passengers, who seemingly had plans to steal his vehicle, leading to a scuffle between the three.
The young man indicated that he was severely injured when the vehicle crashed, although his life was spared.
He said the thieves escaped despite securing severe wounds, and he was rescued by some road construction workers who were working nearby.
He thus shared his story to create awareness of the activities of some of these unscrupulous persons in society.

"As funny as it sounds these things happen daily. A friend’s car was snatched and he was beaten near death around the Dansoman area close to the pamblos. What saved him was the thieves were speaking a language he understood."
