A police motor rider attached to the Achimota District Police Station, Prince Adu, has died following a road accident near Toyota Ghana at West Legon on Sunday, October 18, 2026, while reportedly heading to the station to change into his police uniform before an assignment at the Shattafest event.

According to a relative, Adu was riding to the Achimota Police Station with his uniform on his motorbike, intending to change before proceeding to the Accra Sports Stadium, where he was expected to perform security duties during the event.

His journey, however, ended in tragedy following the accident near Toyota Ghana.

The vehicle reportedly involved in the incident was a Volkswagen Passat CC saloon car with registration number GR 611-21. The driver has been identified as Elvis Abeiku Hagan, who has been named as a suspect in connection with the incident.

The incident has cut short Adu’s life before he could report for the security assignment he was reportedly preparing to undertake at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Further details on the police investigation, the exact circumstances of the collision and any official statement from the Ghana Police Service are yet to be established.
