Ambassador Rasheed Seidu Inusah, the Director of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) has been asked to step down.
According to a publication by Starrfm.com.gh, his deputy has been asked to take over as the BNI Director from May 2, 2019.
The report says “Ambassador Inusah has been sacked over security lapses in recent times and lack of coordination between the police and the BNI”.
It further stated that “his exit may have to do with the saga of poor policing in communities, resulting in armed robberies, shootings and kidnappings in which police have, sometimes, been complicit”.
The report, according to starrfm.com.gh has been confirmed by sources at the Blue Gate which they say is a measure towards “reforming the entire security apparatus in contributing their quota to securing an environment of communal and national security in underpinning government’s economic and social transformation agenda.”
