“Officer Red Is Allegedly Working With MoMo Vendors to Extort Motorists” – Drivers Union Representation

According to a Post by ABNMedia on Facebook Official account on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, a representative of the Drivers’ Union has accused a police officer popularly known as Red of allegedly working with Mobile Money (MoMo) vendors to collect money from motorists who breach traffic regulations.

According to the union representative, the officer was previously stationed at Spintex before being transferred to Tema. The representative claims that the alleged activities involve motorists caught committing traffic offences.

The accusation has raised concerns about how traffic violations are handled and whether some drivers may be subjected to demands for unofficial payments instead of going through the proper legal process.

Under normal circumstances, motorists who violate traffic laws are expected to face the appropriate penalties in accordance with established procedures. However, if the allegations are proven, the situation could raise serious questions about police conduct and accountability.

The claims have also drawn attention to the need for transparency in the enforcement of traffic regulations. Motorists and members of the public would expect officers responsible for maintaining law and order to carry out their duties professionally and in line with the law.

As of the information available, no response from Officer Red has been provided regarding the accusation. The claims have also not been independently verified, meaning the officer’s position and further evidence would be important in establishing what actually happened.

The Ghana Police Service could help clarify the matter through an appropriate investigation into the allegations.

The key question is whether the motorists involved were being subjected to lawful penalties for their traffic offences or were allegedly being asked to make payments outside the official system.

Until the facts are established, the accusation remains an allegation and should not be treated as proven misconduct.
