Soldier lashes driver, mate for wrongful parking at 37
A driver and his mate endured some painful strokes
of a cane on Friday morning from a man in military
uniform at 37 for allegedly violating road traffic
regulations.

An amateur video footage available to
citifmonline.com showed the man in uniform
subjecting the driver’s mate to some lashes,
having instructed him to bend.

Reports say that the two were being punished for
wrongfully parking at the 37 branch of Total
filling station to pick a passenger.

Picking a passenger anywhere besides a designated
bus stop violates the country’s road traffic
regulations but most drivers especially in the
country’s capital, Accra, blatantly violate this
regulation, stopping to pick passengers or allow
those onboard to alight at undesignated areas.

37 in Accra, is a military zone, hosting various
military installations including the Military
Hospital, Burma Camp, Air Force Officers’ mess
among others.
