Accra police have no written ‘after action’ report – Kwesi Ofori tells Short C’ssion


DSP Kwesi Ofori, the director of operation at Greater Accra, made his appearance before the Emile Short Commission investigation the Ayawaso by-election Thursday.

Operational director, Greater Accra police, told the Short Commission Thursday his outfit has no written “after action report” on the security situation of the recent Ayawaso by-election.

According to Chief Superintendent of Police, Kwesi Ofori, he gave his account through Police radio communication to those who matter. 

The Ayawaso by-election, which was under the supervision of the Greater Accra Police Command, turned violent following a standoff between some supporters of the National Democratic Congress and men, who have been claimed to be national security operatives by the National Security Coordinator, Mr. Albert Kan Dapaah.

Just hours into the by-election, some armed men clothed in National Security apparel stormed the La Bawalashie Presby polling station. Eyewitnesses say the armed men fired shots and attacked some agents believed to be opposition NDC agents.

Joy News captured video footage depicting NDC MP for Ningo Prampram being heckled and attacked by masked men wielding guns in the ongoing Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency.

Among other things, the Emile Short Commission has been tasked by the President to make a full, faithful and impartial inquiry into the circumstances of, and establish the facts leading to, the violence that left an unremovable stain on the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election on the 31st day of January.

But explaining how the radio report was done on Election Day, DSP Ofori said police used a communication network device known as Gotta.

According to him, this device had about 46 police officers plus the Greater Accra Regional Police Commander, his deputy and any Regional officer, who wanted to monitor development on the election day.

DSP Ofori added that the taking over of investigations by the police administration did not encourage him to do a written report.  

“We did not want to write anything that might mar investigations. Personally, I am waiting that when I am called upon by the investigation, I will give my testimony,” he told the Commission.

Auschwitz survivors return after 75 years for memorial ceremony | World news

Obraz
More than 200 survivors gathered at the former Nazi extermination camp of Auschwitz, many probably for the final time, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of its liberation. As rows over the make-up of the international guest list at the memorial ceremony threatened to overshadow Monday’s event, survivors who drew on harrowing memories of their incarceration warned the lessons from the atrocities sanctioned by Adolf Hitler’s administration and carried out often by ordinary Germans were in danger of being forgotten. “The Holocaust was sponsored and was okayed by a government. Not only did they allow it to happen but they enforced it and encouraged regular people to become killers,” said Benjamin Lesser, a 92-year-old Polish-born Jew whose family was sent to Auschwitz in 1944. More than 1.1 million people were murdered at the camp, most of them Jews. “I have returned so that I don’t forget any of the details of what happened to me, so I can keep the memories alive, and stop the wor

Anne Robson, who was believed to be the oldest living female World War II veteran, has died at 108 in Scotland . Robson lived through radical changes leading up to the turn of the millennia: women’s suffrage, two world wars, 20 prime ministers, four monarchs, a man landing on the moon and the technological revolution, not two mention four personalized birthday cards from the queen. Born Gladys Anne Logan MacWatt on Sept. 14, 1911, the centenarian was training as a physiotherapist in 1933 before becoming a teacher later that year, according to the Women’s Royal Army Corps Association  (WRAC). Robson was teaching when World War II broke out. She quickly decided to join the women’s branch of the British Army, the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS), in 1942. Robson first served as a physical training instructor and later rose to the rank of Senior Commander as Assistant Inspector in ATS Physical Training. She remained in the British army until the end of the war. ALYCE DIXON, OL
