Police Deny Claims of Abandoning Injured Officer at KATH
The Ghana Police Service has refuted allegations circulating on social media that it has abandoned Police Inspector Alfred N. Kuuzaa, who sustained gunshot wounds while returning from duty during the December 7, 2024, general elections in Atebubu, Bono East Region.
In a statement issued on Friday, February 21, and signed by Assistant Commissioner Grace Ansah-Akrofi, the police service emphasised that all necessary steps have been taken to ensure Inspector Kuuzaa receives the best medical care.
According to the statement, the injured officer is currently receiving treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, where he has successfully undergone the required surgeries. The medical expenses, the police service confirmed, have been fully covered under the Police Emergency Medical Intervention Fund (PERMIF).

Additionally, the Ashanti Regional Police Director of Welfare has been actively engaging with Inspector Kuuzaa’s family and medical team, providing the needed support and serving as the primary liaison between the Police Administration and the officer’s relatives.
The police service categorically dismissed the claims of neglect, describing them as false and urging the public to disregard the misinformation.
“The Ghana Police Service, therefore, wishes to categorically state that the publication of neglect of our colleague officer is false, and we invite the public to disregard and treat it with the contempt it deserves,” the statement read.
The police administration also extended its best wishes to Inspector Kuuzaa for a full and speedy recovery while commending all officers who continue to put their lives on the line to maintain peace and security in the country.
