In related crime news, COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, the Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), has issued a bold statement to criminals operating in Ghana.
According to COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, no matter how far or long they run, the police will eventually catch up with them.
Speaking during a press briefing at the National Police Headquarters in Accra on Wednesday, September 24, COP Donkor stated, “To the criminals out there, always remember that you may run and hide, but we will surely get you arrested to face the full rigours of the law. We are coming for you”.
“We wish to assure the good people of Ghana that the Police Service will continue to work around the clock to ensure security, law, and order at all times,” she added.
