The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has assured a petitioner seeking investigations into allegations against former Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Director-General, Faustina Agyeiwaa Kodua Andoh-Kwofie, that the Ghana Police Service will conduct a diligent and impartial inquiry into the matter.
The assurance follows a formal petition submitted by Mr. Charles Amegadzie, a national security operative based in Tema, who accused the former CID boss of alleged abuse of power, land grabbing, intimidation, and related misconduct during her tenure in office.
In an official response from the Office of the Inspector-General of Police, dated April 30, 2026, the Police Administration acknowledged receipt of the petition and indicated that the matter had been referred to the Director-General of the Police Professional Standards Bureau (PPSB) for investigation and appropriate report.
The correspondence, signed on behalf of the Chief Staff Officer by Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Amuda Tsaka, stated that the IGP had directed the relevant department to investigate the allegations raised by the petitioner.
The response is being viewed as the first formal step by the Police Administration toward addressing concerns raised in the widely discussed petition against the former CID Director.
Mr. Amegadzie, in his petition to the IGP, the Office of the President, and the National Security Secretariat, alleged that the former CID Director exploited her position and influence within the security establishment to unlawfully take control of disputed lands belonging to private individuals.
A key matter highlighted in the petition involves a 0.15-acre parcel of land at Baatsona within the Tema West Municipality, which the petitioner claims belongs to the Okley family of Nungua.
According to the petition, the land had previously been the subject of litigation involving the Ghana Police Service. However, following a search reportedly conducted by the Police Estates Unit under the directive of former IGP George Akuffo Dampare, it was allegedly established that the Police Service had no vested ownership interest in the property.
The petitioner further claimed that despite the Police Service subsequently withdrawing from the matter, the former CID Director allegedly proceeded to assert personal ownership over the land and developed a three-storey commercial property on it.
The petition also questioned the legitimacy of an indenture allegedly issued by the Nungua Stool in support of the ownership claim, arguing that a prior consent judgment and surrender instrument dating back to February 1, 1999, had extinguished any authority of the Stool over the land in dispute.
Mr. Amegadzie further alleged that the Baatsona matter may be part of a broader pattern of alleged land-related disputes linked to the former CID Director, with claims that some property owners in areas including Spintex, Manet, and Madina are preparing similar petitions.
The Ghana Police Service has not publicly commented on the substantive allegations contained in the petition, pending investigations by the Police Professional Standards Bureau.
