‘Stop involving Police in chieftaincy litigation’

Superintendent George Andrew Kumah, Amasaman Municipal Police Commander in the Ga West Municipal Assembly has cautioned Chiefs and their subjects as well as the populace in the municipality to distance police from any of their litigation.

“The police are here for everybody and mandated to protect lives and property without fear or favour, but not to associate itself in such chieftaincy litigation issues", the Police Commander said.

Supt. Kumah made the remarks during an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on Thursday at Amasaman where he urged parties involved in litigation to always resort to consensus at the appropriate quarters to iron their differences to save inhabitants and the nation at large.

He however pleaded with the chief of Obom, Nii Amartey Obom II whose jurisdiction has been spotted of late to stop dragging the police in its chieftaincy litigation with a section of his subjects, rather advise that the chief and a section of his subjects channel their grievances to the Traditional Council for amicable solution.

Supt. Kumah entreated all and sundry within the Municipality to join the police to fight crime by making available information on suspicious characters on time to the police to help necessitate the clamp down of criminals and their allies to make the area a haven for all.
