Obiri Boahen denounces police over release of cars to Kofi Adams

The Police CID took possession of the cars after allegations that the cars belong to the state.

However, after detailed investigations, the cars were released to the former campaign coordinator of former president John Mahama because it did not belong to the state.

“I am saying they did shoddy work and a lot will follow with what has happened," Boahen told Accra-based Citi FM.

"I am not treating it as an isolated case. All over the country, you hear people complaining about the lackadaisical attitude of policemen and policewomen.”

The former Deputy Interior Minister under the John Agyekum Kufuor administration said he was worried about "the level of professional ineptitude" on the police.

"Common sense dictates that those boys who went for those vehicles ought to have been invited. Perhaps they may be in possession of some documents,” he said.

“At what point in time did they do the investigations and then they drew the conclusion and arrived at the final position that the vehicles be released to Kofi Adams without taking statements of those who went in for the vehicles, without giving them the opportunity to present their side of the case. What kind of shoddy work is that?” he barked.

He warned that “This is not the end of the matter," adding that "we will pursue it to its logical conclusion. If the policemen want to be professional politicians, they are welcome."
