The Superintendent Albert Quansah, head of the Foase District Police, is the target of an investigation by the Ashanti Regional Police Command into allegations that three members of the Formed Police Unit (FPU) have threatened and harassed him. Following a miscommunication between them and the Police Commander, the staff was alleged to have threatened to kill Superintendent Quansah. According to reports, Sup Quansah stepped in to control how the police mounted a checkpoint on the Atwima Yabi-Dida road on July 20, 2022. A police source at the regional headquarters said that the Police Commander forbade the practice after observing the staff searching automobiles in the middle of the road.

One of the staff members, Corporal Boakye, who has only been given his first name, took offense to the warning and argued with the Police Commander. According to the informant, Corporal Boakye threatened to kill Sup Quansah by cocking his service firearm during a heated exchange. The Foase District Command sent three police officers to the FPU snap checkpoint in Yabi, where they encountered Corporal Boakye and other employees who were on duty. Corporal Boakye allegedly refused to give Supt. Quansah his service rifle despite being told to do so.

The source claimed that, consequently, 11 personnel from the FPU, led by one Chief Inspector Ohene Karikari Ernest, ‘stormed’ the Foase District Police Headquarters ,and allegedly harassed the District Police Commander, threatening to kill him if he agitated any of the FPU personnel. Ghanacrimes.com also gathered from the source that, one Supt. K. K. Kawudie led five armed personnel from the FPU base in Kumasi to the Foase District Command to also intimidate the District Police Commander. The altercation between the District Police Commander and the other ranks was videotaped by some eye witnesses and had gone viral on social media.

In a statement signed by the Director of Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service, Chief Superintendent Grace Ansah-Akrofi,” the police have taken a note of a video in which police officers are seen exchanging words”. It stated that the incident took place on July 20, 2022, and investigations into it commenced that very day. The statement said “we would like to assure the public that due internal disciplinary process of the service is being applied in dealing with the matter.”
