DCOP Bright Oduro, has been relieved of the position of Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Police Service.<\/p>\n

ACP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah, has thus been directed by the Inspector General of Police, David Asante Apeatu, to act as the Director General of the CID.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”RfiyFjUOl5nP4mDlNqfXjQ77rWBwo0lh”]This directive is to take immediate effect, according to a document sighted by Citi News<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

COP Bright Oduro was the Director General in charge of Welfare at the Police Service before being moved to the CID as the new Director General in January 2017.<\/p>\n

His replacement, ACP Addo-Danquah, was recently in the news after being accused by Kwame Asare Obeng, also known as A-Plus, of trying to cover-up some malfeasances\u00a0in the probe of President Akufo-Addo\u2019s two Deputy\u00a0Chiefs of Staff.<\/p>\n

In an audio said to be a leaked recording of a conversation\u00a0between A-Plus and ACP Addo-Danquah, the police officer was heard advising the A-Plus to deny the allegations because he is a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).<\/p>\n

The Police officer was largely accused of\u00a0misconduct in the manner she handled the investigation, per the details of the telephone conversation that appeared unprofessional and compromised.<\/p>\n

She later claimed that the tape was doctored <\/a><\/strong><\/span>to portray her in a bad light, a claim A-Plus denied.<\/p>\n

Many had expected that the police officer would have been sanctioned by the service, instead of being promoted.<\/p>\n

Bright Oduro’s removal<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reasons for Bright Oduro\u2019s dismissal remain unknown. However, a report by the Daily Guide Newspaper on Monday suggested that there were a series of petitions against him in some land-related issues, particularly land guards.<\/p>\n

Kennedy Agyapong, Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, has been waging a relentless campaign against COP Oduro for his alleged connection with land guards.<\/p>\n

Just last Thursday, Mr. Agyapong was on Accra-based Oman FM lambasting the police chief over a case involving some policemen at Miotso, near Tema.<\/p>\n

According to reports, two people \u2013 Francis Tetteh Botchway, 67; and Mohammed Dziwornu, 29 \u2013 were murdered in broad daylight at Miotso on December 29, 2016, allegedly by a team of five policemen from the Tema Regional Police Command.<\/p>\n

The incident, which occurred as a result of a gun battle over a piece of land, also left six other persons with various degrees of gunshot wounds.<\/p>\n

The Tema Police retrieved two pump action guns, a pistol, one AK 47 rifle with double magazine loaded, Jeep Cherokee and Mercedes Benz cars.<\/p>\n

The CID headquarters took over investigations into the shooting incident, which occurred in the Ningo-Prampram District, but is yet to arrest and prosecute any suspect as at now.<\/p>\n

Bright Oduro was set to retire in January 2018, but less than three months to his exit; he has already been shown the door.<\/p>\n

He was CID boss for about 10months.<\/p>\n
