A Deputy Attorney General under the erstwhile NPP administration and MP for Nsuta Kwamang/Breposo, Kwame Osei Prempeh has called on government to as a matter of urgency haul the head of the Ghana Police training school Kofi Boakye for interrogation for wrongfully accusing the NPP administration of conniving with drug barons.
ACP Boakye had reportedly told his friends that the ruckus about his meeting with Issa Abass, Tagor, and others involved in the mysterious disappearance of the 76 sacks of cocaine from MV Benjamin shipping Vessel, which saw his interdiction was uncalled for because as the then head of Police Operations, he met regularly with such miscreants with the view of getting information to peg them and their accomplices.
He however accused the then Kufuor-led government of keeping close links with ex-cocaine-convicts Alhaji Issa Abass and Tagor even though the two were known drug barons.
According to the Herald newspaper, the former head of Police Operations alleged that Issa Abass in particular, supplied police vehicles to the NPP-led government while Tagor was a very good friend to the Kufuor-led administration.
However, responding to these allegations on the Citi Eyewitness News, the ex-Deputy Attorney General denied the allegations and chided ACP Kofi Boakye, referring to him as “a bad policeman dangerous for the state.”
“If Tagor or Alhaji Issa sells Vehicles and government is dealing with him does that mean that government knows that he is a drug dealer? Kofi Boakye says that he knew that he was a drug dealer and he was working for government.
"So if a top policeman working for government and you knew that the man was a cocaine dealer, did Kofi Boakye ever tell his bosses that he knew he (Alhaji Abass) was a drug dealer? Was he not commiserating with them, didn’t he call them to his house and had meetings with them? That makes him a very bad policeman dangerous for the state,” he said.
The Nsuta Kwamang MP accused ACP Kofi Boakye of conniving with criminals and called on the Atta Mills-led government to haul him before the appropriate authorities for questioning as soon as possible.
“If he said that we were dealing with them and therefore we ought to have known that they were drug dealers, I’m saying that he was a top policeman who was paid to do that work of identifying criminals; so if he knew that and he accommodated them and dealt with them and became friends with them he was rather conniving with criminals. If Kofi Boakye really said so there are questions for him to answer, this government must ask him questions and he must be ashamed of himself,” he said.
