An amount of 3000 Ghana Cedis has being paid by the Upper East Regional Police command as Reward package for informants. This is a new policy instituted by the police administration to reward people who provide information leading to the arrest of criminals in the region. The Upper East Regional Police Commander, ACP Bright Oduro, who made this revelation, at this year’s Regional Commander’s Parade at Bolgatanga, therefore charged the general public to help expose criminals for handsome reward packages. ACP Oduro hinted that reliable information from the public has led to the arrest of a notorious armed robber, who had been involved in several robberies in the Northern and the Upper East Regions. He appealed to all peace loving people in the Bawku Municipality who have any information on criminals and perpetrators of several acts of violence in the area to volunteer the information to the police for prompt action. He reiterated that, every useful information would be handsomely rewarded. ACP Oduro advised police personnel to be mindful of the proper handling of weapons and the need to return riles to the armoury immediately after duty. Officers who fail to report for duty or desert duty point were also cautioned to desist from the act, adding that those caught would be dealt with accordingly to the regulations of the police service. ACP Oduro pledged his outfit’s commitment to disrupt activities of criminals in the region since the market season in the three Northern Regions is approaching.
