Ghana Police Disowns Viral AirPods and Earphones Ban Flyer.

-

The Ghana Police Service has disowned a flyer circulating widely on social media claiming that motorists and motorcyclists who use AirPods, earphones or other audio devices while driving or riding could be arrested and sentenced to up to two years in prison.


The flyer, which bears the Ghana Police Service logo and the heading “Public Safety Announcement,” claims that the use of AirPods, earphones or any form of audio device while riding or driving is strictly prohibited.


However, the Police Service has clarified that the publication is false and was neither issued nor authorised by the Ghana Police Service. The Service has urged members of the public to disregard the flyer, while its Cybercrime Unit works to trace those responsible for its circulation.


Despite disowning the flyer, the Police Service has cautioned motorists, motorcyclists and other road users against activities or devices that may distract them or compromise their attention, hearing, vehicle control or awareness of surrounding traffic.


The Service has further urged all road users to familiarise themselves with and comply with the Road Traffic Regulations, 2026 (L.I. 2519) and other applicable road traffic laws, stressing that avoiding distractions is essential to improving road safety and reducing crashes.


The Police Service has therefore appealed to the public to rely on its official communication channels for accurate information concerning road traffic regulations and other public safety matters.


The Ghana Police Service says it remains committed to enforcing road traffic laws fairly and professionally while working with stakeholders to promote safety on Ghana’s roads.
