A video of the heavily drunk police officer has been making the rounds on Facebook after it was posted by one person who was on board the trotro.

Rosemary Emefa Brany, posted: “This policeman joined the troski I was in around ridge enroute Madina...He is drunk! He has a rifle! Other passengers were making fun of the situation but I was damn horrified I had to alight and pick another troski.”

The video shows the drunken officer who could not sit still brag continuously about his drinking habits.

The officer was heard in a loud voice saying in twi that, “me ne obiaa nni asem”, to wit, ‘I have no problem with anyone’. This was after the conductor or driver’s assistant (mate) asked him to pay his fare.
