The Ashanti Regional Police Command, DCOP Frank Abrokwa, has been transferred to the Police Headquarters in Accra.
His transfer was triggered by his poor management of security during the Ashanti Regional Council of State election, held at the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council (ARCC) in Kumasi .
The election, which began peacefully, turned chaotic after machomen, allegedly affiliated with the NDC from Obuasi, disrupted the process while the sorting of ballot papers was underway.
Upon noticing that their candidate was losing the election after seeing the votes Nana Nkansah Boadu had received, the machomen disrupted the process, leading to the vandalization of all electoral materials used in the election.
The Ashanti Regional Police Commander, who led the police team assigned to oversee the election, failed to manage the chaotic situation properly, resulting in his transfer to Accra.
His transfer letter was sent to him yesterday, immediately after the incident.
