The Chief of Aboso, Nana Kwabena Asante I, has called for an investigation into the conduct of three senior police officers in the Western Central Regional Police Command.
The Chief presented a petition to the Minister of the Interior, Henry Quartey, and the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, to seek redress for the failure of these police officers to uphold moral standards befitting of Police officers.
The petition, dated September 3, 2024, and co-signed by queen mother Nana Akosua Akomaso and other key figures named the Western Central Regional Police Commander, the Tarkwa Divisional Police Commander, and Chief Inspector Joseph Bosman Amoako of the Aboso Police as officers the Chief sought redress.
One of the major issues highlighted in the petition is the allegation that the officers are supporting “miscreants and non-indigenous groups” in an attempt to install a rival chief in Aboso, despite the presence of a legally recognised chief in accordance with local customs and traditions.
Additionally, the petition accuses the Regional Police Commander of verbally abusing traditional leaders, including the Nifahene, who has warned of legal action if the behaviour persists.
