Narrating the story, he said at about 0600 hours on that day, Gregory Kankam, Seth Akesse Gyimah and Kwakwa Prince, who are professional teachers, among other passengers, aboard a Metro Mass Transit bus, created commotion which resulted in insults. The bus was travelling towards Asin Fosu.
He said the conductor of the bus, with registration number AS 2461 X, Vincent Kwadwo, 31, and some passengers tried unsuccessfully to bring the situation under control.
Superintendent Peprah said on reaching Ofosu Krum Junction, the driver decided to report the case to the Police at Akim-Swedru.
