The Inspector General of Police, Dr George Akuffo Dampare, today visited three police officers who were critically injured in a fatal accident on Thursday (21 October) on the Walewale-Bolgatanga road.
The three officers, all from the Anti-Robbery Taskforce, were members of a five-member team responding to a robbery incident on that northern stretch of the Eastern Corridor.
Two of the officers have been confirmed dead in the crash.
A statement issued by the police on Friday said processes are under way to airlift the officers to Accra for further treatment.
Thanking Armed Forces
The members of the police management board have also visited the families of the two officers who died in the road crash to commiserate with them.
“The police administration wishes to thank the Ghana Armed Forces, particularly the Chief of Defence Staff, Vice-Admiral Seth Amoama, and the Chief of Air Staff, Vice Marshall Frank Hanson, for their collaborative efforts in airlifting the injured personnel” the police statement said.
