Deal with ‘corrupt’ former Agogo Police Cdr. – Queen mother tells IGP

The Queenmother of Agogo Nana Juaben Serwaa Afrakoma Kusi Oboadum, has appealed to the Inspector General of Police as well as the government to either punish or expel Samuel Azugu.

She said the request she is making is due to the fact that the Asante Akim-North District Police Commander worsened the security crisis in the area in the struggle with the Fulani herdsmen.

According to her, Mr. Azugu failed to put the chaotic state under control because he was under manipulation by the herdsmen.

ASP Samuel Azugu has been sent on a transfer after the recent attack that took place in the area on Monday which saw three three soldiers and a police officer being gunned down by the herdsmen.

Nana Juaben Serwaa Afrakoma Kusi Oboadum also charged the government to investigate all the allegations leveled against the former ASP Samuel Azugu and give him the necessary punishment.

“ASP Samuel Azugu is the cause of our problem. He came here not to clamp down Fulani herdsmen from our community but rather to collect monies from them and protect them. I’m appealing to government to investigate the allegation leveled against the commander and punish or sack him to serve a warning to all police commanders who will come to Agogo” Nana Juaben said.

Nana Juaben Serwaa Afrakoma Kusi Oboadum therefore adviced the new police commander for Asante Akyem Agogo North DSP Joe Appiah to stay away from bribe and deal with Fulani herdsmen without fear or favor.

Nana Juaben Serwaa Afrakoma Kusi Oboadum made this known when Chief of Defense Staff Lieutenant Gen. O. B Akwa and Ashanti Regional Police Commander visited Agogo Community.
