COP Patrick Timbilla was interdicted by the police some days ago following his alleged role in a police recruitment scam that rocked the Ghana Police Service.
Speaking to Citi News, Mark Woyongo stated that the right authority was sought before the account was frozen.
“Proper procedure was followed. This is not the first time somebody’s account has been frozen. National Security has been doing it and they have followed the proper procedure in freezing the accounts of Mr Timbilla. There is no problem with the freezing of the bank account,” he stated.
He added that due process was followed in the freezing of the accounts of the interdicted senior police officer adding that “due process meant the appropriate authority was sought before the bank account was frozen.”
