The Ghana Police Service has strongly denied allegations circulating on social media that it has neglected Police Inspector Alfred N. Kuuzaa, who is currently receiving medical treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital after sustaining gunshot wounds.
Inspector Kuuzaa was reportedly attacked while returning from the 7th December 2024 general elections at Atebubu in the Bono East Region.
In response to claims of negligence, the police have assured the public that they have taken all necessary steps to ensure he receives the best possible care.
According to a statement released by the Police Public Affairs Directorate, the Service has followed all medical instructions, and the officer has successfully undergone the required surgeries.
His treatment is being fully funded under the Police Emergency Medical Intervention Fund (PERMIF).
Additionally, the Ashanti Regional Police Director of Welfare has been working closely with the officer’s family and medical team, acting as the primary liaison between the Police Service and his relatives.
“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.
The police also extended their best wishes for Inspector Kuuzaa’s recovery and praised officers across the country who continue to risk their lives to maintain peace and security.
