A Sekondi-Takoradi based Bolt driver believed to be an officer with Ghana Navy, was on Wednesday night, December 22, 202 was set ablaze at Bakano near Sekondi by an unknown rider who is currently on the run.
The suspects stopped him at Ketan for a hail and ride to Chocoloate City, a popular pub in Sekondi.
Beach Fm sources indicated that on Thursday, December 23, Okyere Boateng said he had gone to Nkroful and was returning when he was stopped at VRA by the would-be attackers.
He said they told him one would drop at Bakado.
It was at the point when he stopped for their accomplice to alight when one of them at the backseat poured petrol on him and quickly lit a lighter, ostensibly in an attempt to set him ablaze.
He screamed for help and the assailants took to their heels.
Some helpers bumped into him and rushed him to the Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital.
Okyere Boateng has since been flown to the 37 Military Hospital, according to our reports, for further medical attention.
