Accra, July 16, GNA – Management of Stanbic Bank Friday commended Constable Prince Fordjour of the National SWAT Unit for his honesty by returning GH¢2,000 he found at the Stanbic ATM at Abeka Total Filling Station to the Bank.
The officer was said to have found the money dropping from the ATM on July 3, 2021, with no recipient present to collect the cash.
The Bank, in expressing its appreciation to the Police Officer, opened an investment fund of GH¢4,000 with their sister company, Stanbic Investment Management Services, a current account worth GH¢1,000, a gift voucher worth GH¢1,000 and assorted souvenir from the Bank.
Mr Mawuko Afadzinu, the Head of Marketing and Communication, Stanbic Bank Ghana, said Constable Fordjour, in the course of his duty, came across the GH¢2,000 at the ATM, picked the money and gave it to Chief Superintendent Theodore Hlormenu, the Commander in charge of National SWAT.
He said Chief Hlornemu took the money to Stanbic Bank and the Bank thought it prudent to show appreciation to the police officer for the gesture.
Mr Afadzinu urged other officers to follow the exemplary life of Constable Fordjour and lift the image of the police higher.
The Inspector General of Police, Mr James Oppong-Boanuh, also presented a cash of GH¢5,000 to Constable Fourdjour for exhibiting a high sense of integrity, which he said epitomized the motto of the Ghana Police Service.
He commended Stanbic Bank for honouring the police officer, stressing that the gesture would motivate him to do more and encourage others to emulate his honesty.
He said the action of the Police Officer had showed that there were majority of police personnel who executed their duties with integrity.
