The head of the Motor Transport and Traffic Unit, ACP Angwubutoge Awuni has boldly stated that he is ready to be transferred from the Greater Accra region to any part of the country as demanded by the Greater Accra branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Mr. Ade Coker, Chairman of the Greater Accra branch of the NDC on Friday demanded the transfer of the MTTU boss for allegedly manhandling the former Greater Accra regional Minister and Member of Parliament for Korle-Klottey, Hon. Nii Armah Ashittey. Hon. Nii Armah Ashittey was briefly arrested and detained for allegedly interfering in the ongoing biometric registration exercise in his constituency last Thursday. Mr. Ade Coker, in an interview with XYZ News stated that ACP Awuni acted unprofessionally and must be transferred from the Greater Accra region with immediate effect. However, reacting to the demands by the Greater Accra branch of the NDC, ACP Awuni in an exclusive interview with XYZ News said he is not perturbed by the call for his transfer and is willing to move to any part of the country once the IGP directs him to do so. He said �they should transfer me, I think that I am not going to Burkina Faso otherwise I will still be a Ghanaian Police officer and I will continue to do my work as a professional police officer. I work under an authority and a disciplined institution so I am waiting for the the IGP to tell me to go on transfer�. ACP Awuni however expressed shock at the twist of events saying Mr. Armah Ashittey has proved not to be credible after he stated on another media house that he was not arrested and manhandled.
