The Acting IGP, Mr. James Oppong-Boanuh and some members of the Police Management Board, have commiserated with the wife and children of Late L/Cpl. Alhassan Asare, who was found dead on duty with gunshot wounds at Akyem Swedru.
The IGP has assured the family of support and speedy investigation into the cause of death and circumstances leading to the death of the deceased cop.
The team has already visited the scene and will also engage police officers working within and around Akyem Swedru.
The IGP was joined on the visit to the deceased’s family by COP/Dr. George Akufo Dampare, COP Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohunu, together with the Eastern Regional Police Commander COP Mr. Adu Amankwah among others.
Late L/Cpl. Alhassan Asare was found sitting on a chair dead with gunshot wounds on the neck with his rifle beside him.
