Police deny neglecting injured officer at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital

The Ghana Police Service has dismissed allegations circulating on social media that it has neglected Police Inspector Alfred N. Kuuzaa, who is receiving treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) after sustaining gunshot wounds.

Inspector Kuuzaa was attacked while returning from duty during the December 7, 2024, general elections in Atebubu, Bono East Region.

A social media post recently claimed that the officer had been abandoned by the service, sparking public concern.

In an official statement, the Police Administration strongly refuted the claims, assuring the public that the injured officer has been receiving full medical care, fully funded by the Police Emergency Medical Intervention Fund (PERMIF).

According to the statement, the police have followed all medical directives to ensure the officer’s proper treatment. Inspector Kuuzaa has already undergone successful surgeries, with all medical bills covered by the Police Administration.

Additionally, the Ashanti Regional Police Director of Welfare has been actively working with the officer’s family and medical team, ensuring continuous support and coordination.

The Police Service emphasized that the allegations of neglect are false and urged the public to disregard the misleading reports.

“We categorically state that the publication of neglect is false and should be treated with the contempt it deserves,” the statement read.

The Police Administration also took the opportunity to wish Inspector Kuuzaa a speedy recovery and commended all officers who risk their lives daily to maintain peace and security in the country.
