The Inspector General of Police, Paul Tawiah Quaye, has indicated in practical terms that he would not cover-up for police personnel involved in one form of professional misconduct or the other. As a result, he has ordered the two bosses of INTERPOL-Ghana, Chief Superintendent Amponsah Asiamah and his deputy, Superintendent Peter Abila, to step aside while investigations continue into the withdrawal and sharing of the $49,000 ransom from the accounts of the Commissioner of CID of the Ghana Police Service. Assistant Superintendent of Police, Nketia Yeboah who is the Third-in-Command at this INTERPOL-Ghana has thus been tasked to act as head of the unit. Daily Post’s intelligence within the Ghana Police Service says many police personnel are happy with the bold steps taken by the IGP to ensure that the two, Asiamah and Abila, do not interfere with investigations by the Police Intelligence & Professional Standards (PIPS) bureau. It will be recalled that the Daily Post broke the story about how the INTERPOL-Ghana bosses withdrew US$49,000 ransom from the account of the Commissioner CID and shared it among themselves. When the Daily Post interviewed the INTERPOL-Ghana boss, Amponsah Asiamah after the case was published, he admitted having the money withdrawn from the bank but denied that it has been shared by he and others. He said he has the money with him as exhibit to be used in court and thus invited Daily Post’s editorial team to come over the next day to see it for themselves. Yet, two days later, in the Ghanaian Times, a faceless police investigator with INTERPOL-Ghana contradicted Amponsah Asiamah’s assertion that the money was in his possession when he said the $49,000 had been lodged in the Police Commissioner CID account and the money was still there. Meanwhile, Daily Post intelligence has established that to cover up their act, the INTERPOL-Ghana bosses phoned the businessman in Nigeria who paid the ransom to come to Ghana for his money. The businessman paid the ransom of US$100,000 after a dangerous Nigerian criminal, Emmanuel Emeka Nwangu ‘M’ and his Ghanaian wife, Patricia, who had been working for him, kidnapped his three-year-old daughter and brought her to Ghana. A phone call from the two criminals directed the Nigerian businessman to pay the US$100,000 ransom into their Ecobank account which he did. The two then withdrew part of the money and deposited it into their Barclays bank account. INTERPOL-Ghana which was on the heels of the two criminals obtained a court order to have the account frozen at the bank. They later took another court order to withdraw the money which they deposited into Police CID Commissioner’s account and then later cashed all which they shared among themselves. Meanwhile, two people with Emeka Nwangu who were arrested after they tried to withdraw GH¢100,000 from the account were allegedly released after the Nigerian criminal sent a bribe of US$9,000 to the police bosses. Intelligence available to the Daily Post reveals an attempt to muddy the waters and confuse Ghanaians by laying the blame of the saga at the door-steps of one David, said to be a BNI operative who has been relieved of his job for allegedly investigating the case involving the kidnapping of the three-year-old without authorization from his bosses. With the child back safely to her father in Nigeria, the two key issues that are begging for answers are the whereabouts of Emeka Nwangu ‘M’ and why the INTERPOL-Ghana bosses shared the ransom of US$49,000.00. Investigations continue.
