The outgoing Director General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Commissioner of Police (COP), Mr. Bright Oduro has expressed worry over his unexpected proceed on leave order by his superiors.
“Nobody sat me down to discuss this issue with me. I wasn’t confronted in connection with this issue. What I know is that some individuals have been peddling force information about me. It is a bit odd for them to tell me to proceed on leave, why me?” he questioned in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’.
Mr Bright Oduro was appointed as CID boss in January 2017 at the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) and was recently promoted to the rank of Commissioner of Police (COP).
He was unexpectedly asked to proceed on leave last Friday, October 13, 2017, a few hours after the maverick Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Mr Kennedy Agyapong had reiterated a series of allegations on radio, accusing him of protecting and shielding criminals and land guards at Miotso in Greater Accra.
But he claims the entire allegations are force and an attempt to tarnish his reputation in the service over the years.

My problem is with this accumulated leave issue. Why is it that almost all public institutions allow their senior officers to accumulate leave to the point that all big men/women who go on retirement always have accumulated prior to retirement? Do the authorities not realize that vacation leave among others is an internal control system in organizations. This accumulated leave system is also corruption.
Mr man, You are so tainted with the LANDGUARD menace. Some of us have lost huge sums of money because of your lack of interest in our cases. Just go and enjoy your booty and stop your pretentious attitude.
"the entire allegations are force and an attempt to." I suppose the right word is "false" not "force"
I love this news portal however I have a concern with grammatical errors which inadvertently find its way in your stories. I suggest the editorial team read in-between the lines before posting same on this platform. e.g. the very last paragraph of this story reads: "......the entire allegations are force and an attempt...". I think the "force" in that paragraph should rather read "false". Thank you
Peace FM do you mean "false' or "Force"? Check your grammar.
why are you worried? let them conduct the investigations, if your hands are clean, you will be reinstate.
If this government is able to succeed in both the galamsey fight and this land guard menace alone, he is sure to win power in the next elections
Pece Fm, please the word is False and not force. And to the CID Capo, if you are asked to proceed on leave 3 months to your retirement, I do not see anything wrong with it.
Glad that this government really mean business when it comes to corrupt official. So good the government does not waste time on such official misconduct. No on is above the law, Nana Addo is great!
My brother forgive and forget and start a new life. You have the experience and the skill. Build on it and forge ahead. Positions (political) are temporary. It will soon end.
