ACP Samuel Nyamekye Adane Ameyaw set to leave Akim Oda
The Police Administration is set to transfer one of its commanders from the Akim Oda Divisional Command.
The Assistant Commissioner of Police, Samuel Nyamekye Adane Ameyaw, has come under the radar of the Police-Administration for some time now due to frequent bad complaints lodged against him.
The ACP , known for his unprovoked outbursts and poor judgments was recently hauled before the dreaded Police Intelligence and Professional Standards Bureau( PIPS) over a case in which he failed to arrest and prosecute a team of men who had forcefully taken a hire purchase earth moving vehicle from the parking lot of a popular businessman, Mr. William Asumadu, under the cover of darkness whilst the said businessman was away because the businessman owed the hire purchase company 60,000 cedis.
ACP Adane Ameyaw under strange circumstances rather impounded the vehicle at the request of the men who had attempted to take the vehicle away; leaving witnesses wondering about the sudden turn of events.
The most recent report against the controversial ACP Adane Ameyaw to the Police Administration was contained in a letter it received from the Kotoku Traditional Council.
The letter, sighted by GhanaWeb, reads in part :
“…the Kotoku Traditional Area enjoyed relative peace and security, which came at a great cost and sacrifice before the arrival of the Divisional Commander. Since he took office, his administration has been tyrannical and oppressive, and has thrown our Traditional Area into a state of chaos, disorder and anarchy”.
The letter further berates ACP Adane Ameyaw “ …instead of professionally focusing on his assignment of securing peace, rather systematically gets himself personally involved in all Chieftaincy affairs within the Kotoku Traditional Area”.
The Reverend Minister cum PhD holder ACP Adane Ameyaw is said to have personally instigated chieftaincy problems in Ayirebi, Abenase, Afosu and Asene all of which fall within the Kotoku State.
There has been jubilation within the Divisional Command when news of the report by the Kotoku Traditional Council to the Police Administration reached Officers and men in the Division.
Often described by his own officers and men as overbearing, controversial and disrespectful, ACP Adane Ameyaw has since the receipt of the letter coiled into his shells.
Most folks of Akim Oda, a thriving business town in the Eastern Region, are itching to see the day ACP Adane will leave town for peace to prevail.
