The national security and police officers that arrested journalist, Caleb Kudah, and subsequently invaded the premises of Citi FM and arrested his colleague have been cited for inappropriate conduct.
The actions of Lieutenant Colonel Frank Agyeman (Director of Operations) who led the team, according to the Ministry of National Security, contravenes its standard operating procedures.
A statement from the Ministry on actions it has taken on the Committee report that investigated the arrest indicates that the secondment of Lieutenant Colonel Frank Agyeman at the Ministry has been reversed.
He is to, therefore, report to the Chief of Defence Staff for further investigation and appropriate action.
The three police officers involved have also been withdrawn and are to report to the Ghana Police Service for investigation and disciplinary action.
The National Security Ministry assured the general public and particularly all media practitioners that it will expeditiously investigate any complaints against any personnel of its Agencies.
“The tenets of National Security in Ghana should be based on a Whole-of-Government and a Whole-of- Society approach and cooperation from all well-meaning Ghanaians.”
“The Ministry assures the general public that measures continue to be taken to ensure the highest professional standards to engender public trust,” the statement signed by the Minister, Albert Kan Dapaah said.
