Earlier today, a viral picture of Former President John Mahama attending to some accident victims on a motorbike went viral.
Just as some mischievous element in government would want it to be, through their social media commentators and bloggers who feeds on everything so long as it’s going to make their Mobile money wallets beeps, they reported that John Mahama who was just helping the accident victims was rather the one who knocked them down with his convoy.

That was a false information which has since been refuted and corrected by aides of the former President.
Here is the truth surrounding the whole incident which has been dragged on Social media by government paid actors to serve some narrative that best suit their interest.
JM re motorcycle accident, 10 Facts to note;
- Accident happened in Kumasi not Ho
- JM convoy did not hit motorcyclists.
- Motorcyclist ran into road construction traffic separator just before Kumasi airport roundabout.
- Accident caused slow traffic.
- JM vehicle arrives on scene and he spots first responders try to get rider and passenger on their feet contrary to 1st Aid protocols.
- JM jumps out of vehicle and rightly inquires if anyone has called an ambulance.
- He helps to loosen their clothes and asks to keep them in lying position while he helps to assess their injuries.
- One complains of pain in the elbow and leg.
- The other complains of back and waist pains.
- With no ambulance in sight, JM stays and helps supervises the loading of the patients into a good samaritan’s vehicle according to 1st aid protocols.
Earlier mischief laced narrative by NPP communicators on social media are just targeted at taking off attention on their government which has been under fire for weeks now.
