The Ghana Police Service has refuted social media publications alleging that the Service has neglected Police Inspector Alfred N. Kuuzaa, who is currently receiving treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
In a statement, the police administration disclosed the officer sustained gunshot wounds from an attack while returning from the 7th December 2024 general elections at Atebubu in the Bono East Region.
“Since the incident, the Police Service has taken all necessary steps to ensure the injured officer receives the best medical care.
“We have strictly followed all the instructions and directions of the attending medical team and our colleague has successfully undergone the required surgeries, all fully covered by the Police Administration under the Police Emergency Medical Intervention Fund (PERMIF)”, the Police narrated.
The Ghana Police Service also indicated that the Ashanti Regional Police Director of Welfare has been working closely with Police Inspector Kuuzaa’s family and the medical team, providing essential support and serving as the primary liaison between the Police Service and the family.
The Ghana Police Service, therefore, wishes to categorically state that the publication of neglect of our colleague officer is false and we invite the public to disregard and treat it with the contempt it deserves.
“We take this opportunity to wish our colleague a speedy recovery and salut all Police officers who continue to put their lives on the line to ensure that our country continues to be at peace with itself”, the statement concluded.
