A taxi driver captured our imagination in January when he foiled a robbery attempt by running his taxi into the two armed robbers? His luck is still holding.
After receiving a car from Koala and a house from the President for
his bravery, the Police service have also come good on their promise to reward him with a car for the one he damaged in the accident.
The presentation was made by the Inspector General of Police, John Kudalor, at the Police Headquarters on Monday.
The taxi driver stopped an ongoing robber when he ran into the perpetrators with his taxi at Cantonments in Accra. The brazen robbers, stationed on a motorbike, managed to shoot their
victim in the leg so they could snatch her bag, but were unlucky when
the taxi driver spotted what was happening and gave chase.
He managed to run them down, and then shoved them off the road into a gutter. They are currently standing trial, along with some accomplices, for the attempted crime.
A relative of the driver took delivery of the vehicle.
