Mr Kwame Baffoe in an interview on Accra-based Joy FM said "the officers involved, we have the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) [and] the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), they are building a docket on that and at the appropriate time, he will be arraigned before court. He should be charged for theft because this is a criminal offence."

According to reports, one of the vehicles is a Toyota Land Cruiser V8.

After the state officials cross-checked the chassis number (VIN number), the car was state-owned.
