Don’t go after married women – Commander admonishes police personnel

In his quest to foster a peaceful relationship between the police and civilians in Akim Oda, the Divisional Police Commander, ACP Fleance Senam Adikah, has advised police personnel stationed in the area not to go after married women.

This, according to him, has the tendency to create enmity between them and the public.

ACP Adikah gave this advice during the inauguration of a new police station at Akyem Nkwateng in the Birim North District of the Eastern Region.

The ceremony was performed by the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Abirem Constituency, John Osei Frimpong, who was supported by the Chief of Akyem Nkwateng, Nana Amanie Ankrah II and the District Chief Executive for the area, Reymond Nana Damptey.

The GH¢236,126.28 facility was built under the supervision of the MP and the DCE through the District Assembly’s Common Fund (DACF).

The newly inaugurated police station can boast of male and female cells as well as sanitary facilities.

It is expected to serve Akyem Nkwateng and its surrounding communities which include Kuntenase, Dodoworaso, Akumafitaa, Abohemaa, Asuabena, Botwe and Asoase among other communities.

Addressing the chiefs and the people of the area, ACP Adikah intimated that it was important for police personnel to deepen their relationship and mutual trust between them and the community members.

He said this was one of the ways to ensure effective policing and public safety.

ACP Adikah added that the new police station would augment the police’s fight against unlawful acts and ensure sanity in the community.

He assured that the police administration would play its role to ensure that the peace and security of the country currently prevailing would not be compromised.
