A police vehicle believed to be attached to the Hohoe District Police Command in the Volta Region, was in the early hours of Wednesday torched at Gbi Godenu.

It is unclear who set ablaze the vehicle which had been involved in an accident.

Eyewitnesses say the police vehicle with registration number GP 590 knocked a motor rider suspected to be carrying weed and fell into a gutter.

The police later sent the suspect to the hospital and abandoned the vehicle only to return to meet it on fire.

Unfortunately, no substance was found on the suspect, and nobody has been arrested in connection with the burning of the police vehicle.
