Police Officers Drop Case Against IGP Transfers
10 officers cite arbitrary transfer decisions as the root of their legal challenge
- Ten police officers withdrew their lawsuit challenging the IGP’s transfer orders
- The officers argued the transfer directive disrupted professional stability and lacked transparency
- Although the case is discontinued, they retain the right to reapply, signaling unresolved grievances
Ten police officers who filed a lawsuit to block their transfers, directed by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), have discontinued their legal challenge, reserving the right to revisit the matter in the future.
The group, led by Sergeant David Ojeyim, had argued that the transfer directive was arbitrary, unjustified, and disruptive to their professional stability.
Other plaintiffs included Sergeant Prince Owusu Fayosey, Sergeant Seidu Essilfie, and Corporal Hannah Antwi-Boasiako, among others.
Their lawsuit questioned the transparency and fairness of the Police Administration’s decision-making process. While the case has been withdrawn for now, the officers’ stated intent to reapply suggests the issue of accountability within the service remains unresolved.
