The Accra Regional Police Command has refuted allegations by the East Legon District Police Commander that he was side-lined in the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election police operation.
Appearing before the Commission of inquiry at Osu today the Accra Regional Commander, DCOP Patrick Adusei Sarpong, said all district commanders in the region were informed to be present on the day of the election as well as come along with their pick-up vehicles. He went on say that the East Legon commander name was the first on the list of officers to work during the bye election at the district.
DCOP Sarpong’s testimony contradicts that of DSP George Lysander Asare’s when he appeared before the Emile Short Commission of Inquiry investigating the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election violence last Friday.
