Stop ‘planting weed’ in cars to implicate civilians – IGP warns Police officers

The Inspector-General Police, James Oppong-Boanuh has warned personal of the Ghana Police Services to adhere to the ethics of the profession in the wake of reports that some officers on highway patrol duties intentionally plant narcotic substances in vehicles of civilians to implicate them and cause their arrest.

A memo sighted by Awake News from the police headquarters to the various commands, the Police administration described the reports as embarrassing and should be stopped immediately.

A few days ago the IGP directed that senior police officers should henceforth lead in the conduct of road operations.

A statement signed by the Director of Public Affairs of the Police service, ACP David Eklu, said the Police will also announce a number to receive public complaints, videos, and messages of unprofessional police behavior.

The action is intended to curb misconduct on the part of police officers as many drivers have had cause to complain about the unprofessional manner in which some officers conduct their duties.
