The IGP and his men are working day and night to ensure safety for all\u2026the police service is doing so much and the community should support the police administration to achieve more results,\u201d COP Dampare stated.<\/p>\n<p>There has been over 45 robbery attacks in the country since January 2018 leading to three people losing their lives.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, February 27, some gun wielding men attacked Royal Motors at Industrial Area in Accra and made away with over GHc500, 000. Two people were injured in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Two suspects were picked up later in the day by the Police.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Morning Starr Wednesday, COP Dampare told host Francis Abban that the Police will go all out to apprehend all the culprits in the various robbery incidents.<\/p>\n<p>According to COP Dampare, the Police Service is doing its best and is in control of the situation. He called on Ghanaians to provide information to the Police to help them combat crime in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to assure all and sundry that the situation is under control. Two people have been arrested\u2026we have been working day and night to secure the country. We have been arresting people who pose as threats to our security\u2026we do not put all of that out there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf ensuring there is security means we lose our lives as police officers, we\u2019ll allow that to ensure all citizens are safe. Visibility patrol has increased across the country. We are doing what we have been doing and have added on to ensure the safety of all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/players\/kMQa1DRr-GtVgZhNx.html\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"auto\" allowfullscreen=\"\" style=\"position:absolute;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/players\/wNdRU6lg-GtVgZhNx.html\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"auto\" allowfullscreen=\"\" style=\"position:absolute;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 3 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Wednesday, 28 February 2018 Source: Starrfmonline.com 2018-02-28 Inspector General of Police, David Asante-Apeatu The Director General of Operations for the Ghana Police Service, COP George Akuffo Dampare has dismissed claims that the Inspector General of Police, David Asante Apeatu, is failing in the wake of increased robbery attacks in the country.
