Former CID Director-General, COP Bright Oduro (Rtd), has expressed concerns about ongoing security challenges within the Ghana Police Service under the leadership of former IGP Dr. George Akuffo Dampare.
In an interview with Citi FM’s Eyewitness News, Oduro highlighted gaps in the police’s approach to handling robberies and crime across the country.
He pointed out that many robberies go unreported, and despite seeing police patrols, there seems to be no clear strategy for addressing crime effectively.
Oduro also referenced specific incidents, such as the daylight robbery in Adabraka and the tragic deaths of police officers involved in an enquiry, questioning why these matters remain unresolved.
While acknowledging that every IGP operates within their given resources, he suggested that poor communication and low officer morale have contributed to the challenges faced by the service. He concluded that despite Dampare’s efforts, there are still significant issues to address within the police force.
