The Ghana Police Service has promoted two of its personnel for effecting the arrest of another personnel carrying substances suspected to be Indian hemp, otherwise known as “wee”.
The two officers promoted are Inspector Azumah Komla Justice and Cpl. Felix Diameh.
“The Police Administration has promoted two officers, Inspector Azumah Komla Justice and No. 52543 G/L/CPL Felix Diameh for their role in effecting the arrest of No. 45638 G/Sgt Lotsu Agbeko, a police officer stationed at the Formed Police Unit (FPU) in Accra,” the Police said in a press release on Tuesday, June 14.
The Service also commended the officers for their patriotism, vigilance and dedication to duty.
Also, the driver who gave out his car to be used to pursue the suspect received his share of commendations.
The officer, who is stationed at the Formed Police Unit (FPU) in Accra, refused to stop at a Police barrier at Have in the Volta Region when he was signaled by officers on duty.
As a result, the two promoted officers pursued the suspect, who unfortunately got involved in an accident at the Kpeve Mountain. He got injured on his left hand.
“Police retrieved 84 parcels of compressed dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp from his car. The exhibits have been retained and investigation continues,” a statement from the Police said.
