IGP promises protocol slot for Ekow Blankson's family at next Ghana Police recruitment after ‘A Detective Calls’ play

The recent staging of "A Detective Calls" at the National Theatre was not only a showcase of talent but also a touching tribute to the late Ekow Blankson.

After the staging of the classic George Quaye adaptation of J.B Priestly's "An Inspector Calls," in honor of the late Ekow Blankson the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo-Dampari promised a protocol slot for any member of Ekow Blankson’s family willing to join the Ghana Police Service at the next police recruitment.

The play featured a stellar cast, including Fred Amugi, Akofa Edjeani, Jackie Ankrah, Naa Ashorkor, Fiifi Coleman, Roland Adom, Andrew Tandoh Adote, and many more. The stage set up was rich, lavish, and relevant to the status of Mr. Osei Poku, one of the play's central characters played by Roland Adom of Charterhouse Ghana.

The attendance at all four showings was impressive, with some very important people in attendance, including the Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts, and Culture, Heads of Business, religious institutions, diasporans, and many more.

However, the promise made by the IGP was the highlight of the night during post-event conversations.

The protocol slot promise to any member of Ekow Blankson's family at the next police recruitment is a fitting tribute to his memory. The promise also highlights the IGP's commitment to honoring fallen Ghanaian heroes and their families. It is a noble gesture that will go a long way in providing support and recognition to the family of Ekow Blankson.

Overall, "A Detective Calls" was a touching tribute to Ekow Blankson and a celebration of talent and creativity in Ghana's arts industry. The promise made by the IGP will ensure that his legacy lives on and that his family receives the recognition they deserve.
