The Police officer who was shot during a shoot-out between the Police and the Caprice armed robbers has been promoted from the rank of Corporal to Sergeant with immediate effect.
The officer together with his team members took part in a special operation to arrest the armed robbers who attacked, shot and robbed a woman at Caprice in Accra.
The injured officer suffered multi-fragmented fractures to the bone of his right thigh due to the gunshot and is billed for a major surgery.
According to the Police Administration they have made the necessary provision under the Police Emergency Medical Intervention Fund (PEMIF), which was launched by President Akufo-Addo in January this year to ensure he receives the best medical care available in Ghana or in other parts of the world as the case may be.
The Police once more commended the officer and all the other members of the team for the role they played leading to the arrest of one of the robbers and the death of two others.
The promotion comes barely a day after a visit by the Interior Minister accompanied by the Inspector-General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo-Dampare, Commissioner of Police (COP) Nathan Kofi Boakye, COP/George Mensah, COP/Paul Manly Awini, COP/Habiba Twumasi-Sarpong and some other senior officers.
