Taxi Driver Rewarded with 2 Cars and a House for Aiding the Arrest of Armed Robbers (Photos)

 

A taxi driver who assisted in the arrest of two armed robbers in Accra, the capital of Ghana on January, has been presented with a  Toyota Corolla car by IGP John Kudalor at the Ghana Police Service Headquarters on Monday.

 

 

It was gathered that the two suspected robbers identified as Abaliku Sannie, 35 and Oko Quaicoo, 30, shot an Administrative Assistant of Koala Shopping Mall, after she had left the Cantonment branch of the company.

 

 

The taxi driver, who witnessed the incident, stopped the fleeing shooters by ramming his taxi into a motorbike they were using to escape leaving his taxi badly damaged. He also prevented some angry youth who tried to lynch the suspects who were later arrested by the police after surviving the attack.

 

 

The driver's heroic act has since been commended by many, including former President J.J. Rawlings and President John Mahama who awarded him with a house. He was also presented with a brand new Chevrolet Optra (Sedan ) Saloon car by Koala Supermarket.
