The Ghana Police Service has denied allegations circulating on social media that it has abandoned Police Inspector Alfred N. Kuuzaa, who sustained gunshot wounds while returning from duty during the December 7, 2024, general elections at Atebubu in the Bono East Region.

In a statement signed by the Assistant Commissioner, Grace Ansah-Akrofi on Friday, February 21, the Police Service stated that it has taken all necessary steps to ensure that Inspector Kuuzaa receives the best possible medical care.

The statement noted that the officer is currently being treated at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, where he has successfully undergone the required surgeries, fully covered by the Police Administration under the Police Emergency Medical Intervention Fund (PERMIF).

Additionally, the Ashanti Regional Police Director of Welfare has been actively engaged with Inspector Kuuzaa's family and medical team, providing necessary support and serving as the primary liaison between the Police Service and the family.

The Police Service categorically dismissed the claims of neglect, urging the public to disregard the misinformation.

“The Ghana Police Service, therefore, wishes to categorically state that the publication of neglect of our colleague officer is false and we invite the public to disregard and treat it with the contempt it deserves,” part of the statement read.

Furthermore, the Police extended its best wishes to Inspector Kuuzaa for a speedy recovery and commended all police officers who continue to risk their lives to maintain peace and security in the country.
