Officers Who Sued To Block Police Transfers Discontinues Case
Ten police officers who filed a lawsuit to block their transfers by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare, have officially discontinued the case.
The officers notified the court of their decision, retaining the liberty to reapply in the future if necessary.
They said in their original suit that they were directed by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Mr Christian Yohonu, to defy the transfer order.
This development marks a halt to their legal challenge against the Police Administration’s directive.
Led by Sergeant David Ojeyim, the officers initially sought a court order to prevent their transfers from their current posts.
They argued that the transfer directive was arbitrary and lacked justification.
The officers contended that the decision undermined their professional stability and failed to align with the standard administrative processes of the police service.
The group includes notable members such as Sergeant Prince Owusu Fayosey, Sergeant Seidu Essilfie, Sergeant Alex Abah, Corporal John Yao Adzimagbor, Corporal Michael Kwasi Avuyi, Corporal Huudu Muhammed Wumbe, Corporal Kabiru Mohammed, Corporal Hannah Antwi-Boasiako, and IC/Inspector Alexander Odoi.
Together, they raised concerns about the transparency and fairness of the transfer process, demanding accountability from the Police Administration.
