In the Ashanti Region, authorities have confiscated 1,736 vehicles that were illegally employing sirens and strobe lights while on the roads. This action is part of the Ghana Police Service's extensive campaign to curb the unauthorized use of sirens and strobe lights, which has been increasingly prevalent on Ghanaian roads. ACP Alexander Kwaku Obeng, the Director of Education, Research and Training at the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), revealed this during a media briefing in Kumasi.
Obeng emphasized that the police have already removed these accessories from the seized cars. He explained that the police are cognizant of drivers and vehicle owners who have been illegally utilizing sirens and strobe lights on the roads, prompting their initiative to curb this practice. The police operation to target the unlawful use of sirens and strobe lights is being carried out nationwide.
"As of August 10, 2026, the police has intercepted 11,292 vehicles across all 25 police regions," ACP Obeng reported. The nationwide crackdown on unauthorized sirens and strobe lights commenced approximately one-and-a-half months ago, aimed at promoting road decency. Obeng cautioned motorists and vehicle owners with illegally installed sirens and strobe lights to remove them immediately.
"People with sirens and strobe lights in their vehicles, it's unlawful act so remove them yourself to avert having issues with the police," he warned.
