DCOP Opare Is A Criminal And Had To Be Forced Out Of Office – National Security Boss Alleges

The acting National Security Coordinator, Major General Francis Adu Amanfo (rtd) has claimed that embattled Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Opare Addo had been engaged in some criminal activities pending investigations and therefore had to be taken out of office.

According to him, government’s refusal to renew DCOP Addo’s contract was due to sheer incompetence and his involvement in criminalities.

Speaking to the press, Major Amanfo indicated that DCOP Addo’s contract had expired and there’s no truth in his claims that he still had a contract with government.

He explained that security protocol were sent to ensure DCOP Opare Addo got booted out of office for his replacement to take over after he refused to willingly handover.

“The bottom line of all of this is that Opare Addo had a contract with National Security and for four years he was the regional liaison for the National Security. His term of the contract has expired. It was not renewed because of non-performance and his own criminal activities”.

“He had no locus to be in the office because a new officer had been appointed, and he should have handed over to the officer, and he says he won’t hand over. So that is why a team was sent from Accra to go and mitigate and facilitate the handing, and takeover process,” he added.

“I will say most of these things are vicious, and I say so because I am very experienced in the military. I have served 37 years, being an Ambassador to Liberia, Mali, so I have seen it all. Most of these allegations are vicious, so we need to investigate them before I can make any serious statement. These issues are being investigated.”
