The Ghana Police Service has strongly denied allegations circulating on social media that they have abandoned Police Inspector Alfred N. Kuuzaa, who is currently receiving treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH).
Inspector Kuuzaa sustained gunshot wounds while returning from duty during the December 7, 2024, general elections in Atebubu, Bono East Region.
In a statement, the Police Service emphasized that they have been fully committed to the officer’s medical care. They confirmed that all necessary surgeries have been successfully conducted, with the costs covered by the Police Administration under the Police Emergency Medical Intervention Fund (PERMIF).
Additionally, the Ashanti Regional Police Director of Welfare has been in constant contact with Inspector Kuuzaa’s family and medical team, offering support and serving as the link between the Police Service and the officer’s relatives.
The Service categorically dismissed the claims of neglect as false and urged the public to disregard such reports.
They also extended their best wishes to Inspector Kuuzaa for a speedy recovery and commended all police officers who put their lives on the line to maintain national peace.
