GHOne TV’s morning current affairs co-host was driving in the inner lane on the Ofankor-Tantra stretch when he realized a motorcyclist was riding at high speed behind him, attempting to overtake him.
A heated argument allegedly ensued when Papanko attempted to question the motorcyclist about his reckless riding. The motorcyclist became offended and accused Papanko of obstructing his way.
Lantam Papanko narrated that the angry motorcyclist smashed his vehicle and then hit his side mirror, after verbally assaulting him.
“I realized a black SUV bearing the number plate ‘Imam’ with flashing red and blue lights had been following me. Struggling to comprehend the unfolding scene, I witnessed the motorcyclist pulling up beside me and verbally assaulting me. The aggressive exchange didn’t end there. In a fit of rage, the motorcyclist struck my vehicle with his hands and then violently hit my side mirror, causing it to turn.”
He said he was forced to stop after the vehicle supposedly belonging to the National Chief Imam abruptly stopped in front of his car.
According to him, the motorcyclist verbally assaulted him adding that three people also got out of the vehicle, joined in the assault, and started slapping and pushing him. Papanko said he was overpowered by his abusers, who vandalized his car in the process.
After injuring him, he said the thugs got into their vehicle and fled the scene.
“He confronted me with accusations of disrespect and used his helmet to strike me through the car window. The situation grew worse when three individuals emerged from the National Chief Imam’s vehicle and joined in the assault, slapping and striking me repeatedly.”
He said he rushed to the Achimota Hospital for treatment and then lodged a complaint at the Mile 7 Police Station.
