The police administration has promoted two of its officers for effecting the arrest of their colleague officer who had Indian hemp in his possession.
The two officers promoted are Inspector Azumah Komla Justice and Lance Corporal Felix Diameh.
The arrested officer is Sergeant Lotsu Agbeko stationed at the Formed Police Unit (FPU) in Accra. The policeman was alleged to have been transporting dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp.
He failed to stop at the Have Police barrier when he was signalled to stop by the officers on duty. He was then given a hot chase by the personnel.
But unfortunately, on reaching a section of the road on Kpeve Mountain, he was involved in an accident and had a fracture on his left hand.
He was subsequently arrested and sent to the Peki Government Hospital for treatment.
“84 parcels of compressed dried leaves [were] found in his car boot,” a statement by the police said.
Police have assured of further investigations into the matter and will update the public on further developments.
