The Chiefs and People of Odumse, a farming community in the Dodowa District of the Greater Accra Region, have petitioned the Inspector General of Police (IGP), over the immediate transfer of some police personnel at the Dododwa District and Divisional commands.
Speaking to the press on recent attacks on residents by some suspected hired miscreants, which has resulted in several natives abandoning their homes to seek shelter in neighbouring communities, the Chief of Odumse, Nene Fiesu Gblie III, said, the Criminal Investigation Department of the District Police Command, have been biased in their investigations.
He said some CID officers of the command have rather taken sides with some Estate developers to take over their lands without any documentation or appropriate channel.
“One chief inspector at the command who is at the CID, is always chasing after land cases because of the money involved, but he doesn’t discharge his duties with due diligence”” Nene Gblie fumed.
The Stool Father of the Odumse Traditional Area, also expressed similar disappointment in the activities of some police personnel at the Dodowa District Police Command while acknowledging the fact that some other personnel are equally doing their work diligently.
Meanwhile, some aggrieved natives of the area, said they no longer feel safe, citing some recent needless arrests of innocent people .
They are, therefore, calling on the IGP to act swiftly to avert any possible attack on the police station to register their displeasure.
Police response
However, the Dodowa District Police Commander, DSP Harrison Katso, denied claims leveled against his men, saying that although there will be some bad nuts in the service, his men have always maintained some form of professionalism in the discharge of their duties.
