A police officer got the shock of her life when a driver she stopped by the road, insisted she sanitized her hands before he would hand over his license for inspection.

The incident which was caught on camera showed the police officer with a straight face as she repeatedly ordered the driver to present his license.

“Please can I inspect your license?” she asked.

The driver, who is heard saying he is a staff of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) gently told the officer that he has the license but will only heed to the order on condition she sanitized her hands.

“Kindly sanitize your hands before I give my license to you,” he said.

This incident comes on the back of the Coronavirus outbreak in the country.

Among measures citizens have been advised to take to prevent contracting the disease, which has claimed over 10,000 lives worldwide, is to ensure that their hands are always clean either by washing with soap and water or using a sanitizer.
