Information reaching DAILY GUIDE indicate that some police officers of the Kyebi Divisional Command of the Ghana police Service have been ejected by their landlady.

The reports indicate that on June 4, 2014 the Estate of Alexandra Yaa Ntriwaah in Kyebi, represented by Mrs Henrietta Okyere-Twum, wrote a letter through their lawyer, Sandra Opoku, to the Director of Estate of the Ghana Police Service at the national headquarters asking the police officers, who occupied a house comprising 18 rooms, to vacate their apartments before 31st December, 2014.

According to the lawyer, the family which owns the apartments wants to renovate them. As a result, the effected police officers have been directed to vacate their apartments before the said date.

A police source told DAILY GUIDE that the police officers have started vacating the premises and are renting new apartments in Kyebi and its surrounding areas.

According to the source, officials of the Service at the national headquarters have not taken any concrete steps to address the issue, except to direct the affected officers to go and rent their own apartments. The source revealed that the officers were not given any money to that effect, noting that this had stirred discontent among the officers who are still wondering whether they would be given a refund after they use their money.

Kyebi Police Reactions Chief Superintendent Cephas Bediako, the Kyebi Divisional Police Commander, in an interview with DAILY GUIDE confirmed the story.

According to him, it is very unfortunate that the officers have to go through such an experience, adding that the officers have started moving out to rent their own apartments.

He noted that the situation was going to adversely affect their work, especially in emergency situations where the police have to quickly organise themselves and respond to situations.

The Kyebi Divisional Commander therefore appealed to the government and cooperate institutions to come to their aid to help them get accommodation for personnel of the command.
