The Ghana Police Service has denied social media reports that it neglected an injured police inspector, Alfred N. Kuuzaa, at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH).
According to the service, Inspector Kuuzaa sustained gunshot wounds while returning from duty during the 2024 general elections in Atebubu, Bono East Region.
In a statement, the Ghana Police said it has since taken all necessary steps to ensure Inspector Kuuzaa receives the best possible medical care.
It added that the officer has successfully undergone the required surgeries, fully covered by the Police Administration under the Police Emergency Medical Intervention Fund (PERMIF).
Additionally, the Ashanti Regional Police Director of Welfare has been actively engaged with Inspector Kuuzaa’s family and medical team, providing necessary 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,” the statement read.
