Ten police officers who had filed a lawsuit challenging their transfers by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) have officially discontinued their case.
The officers, led by Sergeant David Ojeyim, informed the court of their decision, leaving the door open to reapply in the future if necessary.
This development temporarily halts their legal battle against the police administration’s directive to transfer them from their current postings.

The group of officers had initially sought a court order to block the transfers, arguing that the decision was arbitrary and lacked sufficient justification.
In their lawsuit, the officers claimed the transfer directive undermined their professional stability and did not comply with the standard administrative processes of the police service.
They raised concerns about the transparency and fairness of the transfer process, calling for greater accountability from the police administration.
The officers involved in the case included Sergeant Prince Owusu Fayosey, Sergeant Seidu Essilfie, Sergeant Alex Abah, Corporal John Yao Adzimagbor, Corporal Michael Kwasi Avuyi, Corporal Huudu Muhammed Wumbe, Corporal Kabiru Mohammed, Corporal Hannah Antwi-Boasiako, and IC/Inspector Alexander Odoi.
Though the lawsuit has been discontinued for now, the officers’ decision to retain the option to reapply suggests that their concerns over the transfer process remain unresolved. The police administration may face further scrutiny if the officers choose to pursue their legal challenge again in the future.
