Superintendent of Police Samuel Owusu-Berko,Ho Municipal Police Commander and his Station Officer Chief, Inspector Evans Vorvor, have funded the renovation of the Ho Police cells.
The two, contributed some money and with assistance from �friends
of the Station� refurbished the cells. Mr Owusu-Berko described the refurbished cells as ultra-modern and among the best. �I know after painting and adding few final touches, our cells will be the best in the country,� he told the Ghana News Agency (GNA).
The cells with decent washrooms, a tap, tiled floor, mattresses,
buckets and blankets are now free of disgusting odour. The mattresses and blankets were donated by the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO).
Mr Owusu-Berko said the initiative was to �restore human dignity�
to suspects in police custody. �We just want to make people who are suspected to have committedcrime feel as human beings.�
GNA saw some suspects in custody relaxing on the mattresses.
One of the suspects, who was reading a Bible, told the GNA that
he was happy about the facelift and commended the Municipal Commander
for his initiative and foresight.
