After biting a Community Police Assistant in the Ashanti Region, Abdul Aziz, a 24-year-old tricycle rider, was given a three-month prison sentence by the Nkawie Circuit Court. Aziz was found guilty of negligently inflicting harm after entering a guilty plea.

On September 3, 2026, Aziz was stopped by Nkawie Divisional MTTD personnel while on a normal safety patrol. Officers checked him and found that he was operating a vehicle without a license or proper paperwork. Alhassan Seidu, a Community Police Assistant, was tasked with escorting Aziz and his tricycle to the police station so that more action could be taken.

But in an effort to avoid being arrested, Aziz tried to drive away in a different route. Aziz ignored the assistant's attempts to point him in the direction of the station, which led to a heated altercation between the two men.

Aziz bit the officer on the chest during the altercation, making him scream for assistance. Young males from the area hurried to the incident and assisted in controlling the driver. The court quickly found him guilty and sentenced him to prison after he admitted to the assault during investigations.
