Driver beaten to pulp by KMA officials
A 32-year old 207 bus Driver Osei Manu, has
been mercilessly beaten with sticks by officials
of Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) at race-
course in Kumasi of the Ashanti Region.
The driver who also inflicted with machete
wounds was driving from the bus terminal at
Kumasi race-course to Manso Keniago, Amansie
District in the Region when he was accused of
stealing a phone.
According to an eyewitness, he was beaten to
pulp when he admitted stealing one of the
traders’ phone after been forced by the KMA
workers to confess.
‘He was afraid of being stoned to death, so in a
move to save his life, he confessed wrongly and
they started beating him with sticks and
machetes, but he is not a thief,’ he explained.
The other drivers within the station protested
that he is not a thief, suggesting that they take
him to a police station for the law to deal with
him rather than to take the law into their hands.

The irate drivers accused KMA workers of
infringing on traders and drivers rights on daily
basis.
As at the time of filing this report, Manu was on
his way to lodge official complain at the police
station.
