A police officer has alleged serious misconduct within the Ghana Police Service, claiming that ammunition is being sold to armed robbers to attack civilians and police officers, in the Ablekuma Central and North constituencies.

In videos shared on social media by Crime Check TV, General Lance Corporal Nicholas Ohene Ampong Kissi specifically alleged that hardened criminals had taken over the Mataheko and Odorkor police barracks.

He said since sounding the alarm, he had been assaulted by some of the individuals involved in the alleged crime and professional misconduct, as he aimed to share the information with police higher-ups. He called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Christian Tetteh Yohuno to investigate the allegations.

“At Mataheko Police Barracks and Odorkor Police Barracks, the current station officer is selling ammunition to armed robbers to go and kill their own police officers and attack civilians. At Odorkor Police Barracks, hardened criminals have taken over the place and two of them came and assaulted me. One slapped me twice.

“I had intelligence that they were operating around the area and as a result, I was attacked. So, if the IGP gets this video, investigate this matter,” he said.

He was later seen at a police hospital displaying a medical report bearing the police logo, apparently to support his claim that he had been assaulted.
