Police Officer Arrests MTTD Colleague Over Alleged Unlawful Collection of Money From Trotro Drivers
A viral video that’s making the rounds on social media has captured a rather dramatic showdown between a Ghana Police Service officer and a Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) officer. And let me tell you, it’s not your everyday traffic stop!
In a clip shared on X and spotted by GhanaNkomo on September 8, 2026, we see some serious action unfolding. The drama kicked off when the MTTD officer was accused of playing a little too loosely with the cash, allegedly trying to snag some extra coins from commercial drivers. You know, the ones who drive those lively white minibuses, or trotros, with that signature yellow stripe that says, “We’re efficient, and also, don’t forget to pay your fare!”
In this heart-pounding 18-second spectacle, the police officer steps in like a superhero looking to save the day—strong-arming his colleague right next to the trotro as if it were a scene straight out of a buddy cop movie. Spoiler alert: it’s all fun and games until someone gets a lecture on the proper way to “serve and protect!” Who knew law enforcement could be so entertaining?

The video was captioned: “Ghana Police Service officer arrests an MTTD officer for allegedly collecting money unlawfully from trotro drivers.”
At one point, the MTTD officer is heard instructing passengers to alight from the bus, while the police officer insists they remain seated.
The footage further captures the police officer attempting to place the MTTD officer inside the trotro, which he resists.
“Sit down and let’s go!” the police officer is heard saying.
