The Regional Chairman of the Ghana National Petroleum Tanker Drivers Union, Edmond Baaba, is calling on the Inspector General of Police to caution his men to desist from attacking tanker drivers on the highways.
The angry group raised concern over recent smashing of windscreens and injuring of drivers for not stopping for convoys to pass.
This comes after, a Bulk Road Vehicle (BRV) loaded with 54,000 liters of diesel from Tema heading to Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation (BOST) depot in Kumasi allegedly had its windscreen smashed by a police dispatch rider, upon reaching Kwahu Hwidiem on Wednesday, October 16.
The rider is said to have allegedly hit the vehicle with a stone for not stopping to allow a ministerial convoy to pass. The driver of the tanker was injured in the process.
This, incident, according to the Ghana National Petroleum Tanker Drivers Union is one of four in recent times.
