A Security analyst Adam Bonaa has called on the Inspector-General of Police, James Oppong Boanuh to interdict the suspected police officers who are alleged to have butchered a driver at Adomfe in the Ashanti Region.
According to Mr Bonaa, the culprits should be interdicted before the polices’ internal inquiry services take over.
Nine policemen in the Ashanti region allegedly beat and butchered a 33-year-old driver Tuesday evening, causing his death shortly after.
Speaking on Starr FM, today Mr Bonaa called for swift interdiction of the police officers
“One other thing I’m expecting from this incident is as the current IGP would usually do is to interdict these rogue police officers who are suspected to have misconducted themselves before they are put through their own internal service inquiry processes and if they are found guilty I believe that they should be severely punished.â€
He added that : “we are beginning to see heavily highhandedly the police when it comes to dealing with citizens. And this particular incident points to another gory incident by police officers who have gone without informing anybody for themselves.â€
Mr Bonaa further indicated that the Ghana Police Service lacks proper supervision, monitoring, training and that brings about such misconducts of its officers.
Reports indicate that about seven police officers with three in uniform stormed the area for an operation and had an altercation with the deceased, restrained him to the ground, kicked and punched him in the face before some of the officers started butchering him with a machete.
