The monument of the Executive Director of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), COP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah has reportedly been destroyed.
The bust, unveiled in October 2024, has been at the center of public debate.
It was commissioned by EOCO staff to celebrate their executive director, with the surrounding space named "Obatanpa Tiwaa Gardens" in her honor.
Reports say the incident unraveled close to midday when unknown individuals forced their way into EOCO’s premises and damaged the statue.
Security officers were present at the time could not do much to prevent the act of vandalism, per the reports.
On the day of its unveiling, the gesture ignited reactions on social media, with many questioning whether the staff had the authority to install the bust on their own, without official approval from the government.
