Residents of Nana-Krom, near Ashaley Botwe old town, in the Adentan Municipality in the Greater Accra region, have commended Chief Inspector Samuel Darko for putting up an ultra-modern police station and apartments to house personnel.
Furthermore, Chief Inspector Darko has also put up another two police posts at Lakeside and Container within the same jurisdiction to make sure crimes are reduced.
According to residents, they have no idea where Chief Inspector Darko gets the resources for such a great project but believe that he uses part of his monthly salary to commence the construction of the edifice until some individuals support him in his dream of finding dignified accommodation and offices for personnel under his leadership.
Mr. Emmanuel Amuzu, the contractor in charge of the project, said in an exclusive interview with Speaker Nana Fianko that Chief Inspector Darko and other donors had spent about four hundred and fifty thousand Ghana cedis (GHC 450, 000) so far, and it’s expected to spend about two million, five hundred thousand Ghana cedis, or more to complete a story building that contains three cells (male, female, and Juvenal).
The charge office, armory, station officer’s office, district commander’s office, crime officer’s office, clerk’s office, and two extra rooms reserved for other official duties are also housed in the said story building.
“For now, we have completed four rooms serving as accommodation for some officers and a charge office, which are already in use.”
A resident, Mr. James Mensah, who also donated some bags of cement for the construction of the building, expressed his profound gratitude to Chief Inspector Darko for his high level of commitment to duty.
“The people are extremely pleased with the wonderful work being done by the Police Chief,” he said, adding that he would soon write to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to inform him of Chief Inspector Darko’s extraordinary performance and commitment.
He, therefore, called on other well-to-do residents to donate towards the project for its early completion.
Madam Adzara Ibrahim explained that, until Chief Inspector Darko was transferred to the area, there were a lot of crimes, which made it almost impossible for people to go about their business during the night due to the high crime rate, but through the hard work of the officers, the crime rate has gone down.
