A taxi driver in Ghana has issued a chilling ultimatum to law enforcement authorities, following an altercation over overloading his vehicle.
The driver, whose identity remains undisclosed, was intercepted by police for overloading his taxi with both items and passengers, sparking a heated exchange between him and law enforcement officers.
The confrontation reached a boiling point when the driver, visibly frustrated, revealed his intention to resort to criminal activities if faced with imprisonment for overloading offenses.
He recounted a previous encounter where the same officer had seized his vehicle for three days due to overloading, questioning the fairness of such treatment.
Expressing his frustration, the driver questioned whether he was being treated as a thief, highlighting the severity of the consequences imposed on him for what he perceives as minor infractions.
In a chilling declaration, he warned that if apprehended and jailed for overloading, he would turn to armed robbery as a means of survival.
This alarming statement has reignited debates surrounding the treatment of minor offenders within the justice system and the underlying socioeconomic pressures faced by individuals in the transportation sector.
