Mr Ebenezer Sakyi Darko, formerly with Ghana Police Service has appealed to the Ministry of the Interior to investigate a forgery of appeal purported to have been made by him that led to the termination of his appointment with the service.

He said he was engaged in the service in 1996 and was first stationed at Akomadan with the Criminal Investigation Department, where he worked for five years before being selected to join the Buffalo Unit in Kumasi.

“I worked under six Regional Commanders without any flaw until the last one who initiated a sudden hatred and started suppressing me,” he said.

Mr Darko made the appeal in a petition to the office of the Minister of the Interior and copied to Ghana News Agency.

He said he was forcibly transferred to Bompata where he worked as the only policeman for seven months of his two years stay at the station.

Mr Darko said the last 10 months of his stay, his salary was denied him.

He said he fell ill and went to Bompata Health Centre for treatment and was given four days excuse duty, but spent two weeks.

He was tried for misconduct for being absent from barracks and duty for 18 days.

Mr Darko said he went on trial and it was recommended that he should be acquitted and discharged but there was a retrial and there was a recommendation that his rank should be reduced.

The report was forwarded to the central disciplinary board and the outcome was his dismissal with an option to appeal against the verdict within six weeks.

He said he was admitted at the University of Ghana to pursue further education and whilst there he received a medical report on which basis a police welfare officer claimed he had tempered justice with mercy and reduced his unfair punishment from dismissal to removal.

According to him a report signed by a medical assistant at Bompata Health Centre indicated that he was treated for malaria and suffered depression and anxiety.
