According to a report by Myjoyonline.com, a legal team of nine lawyers, led by Martin Kpebu, has asked the court and said that the driver and his mate are not safe in the custody of the police.
The lawyers told the court that the two policemen, Francis Buabeng, 26, and Albert Ansah, 33, had been brutalized by police since being held in pre-trial detention until 1 April.

The court therefore admitted the two men to pay bail of 10,000 cedis each with two bonds.
The case has since been postponed to 1 April 2019.
On March 14, 2019, the driver and his mate engaged in a fight with the police officer, the agent Julius Mawuli Ekpe. The incident became viral after the broadcast of a video clip on social media.
The officer had chased the driver and his companion with the help of a motorcycle after allegedly attempting to escape arrest for alleged indiscipline. They were apprehended and brought to justice four days later.
The defendants were charged with conspiracy to commit a crime, causing unlawful damage and obstruction and insecurity to other road users. They both pleaded not guilty to all charges.
