Increasing crime in Achimota Forest: Adib Saani urges police to beef up security
Foreign Policy and Security Analyst, Mr Adib Saani has called on the police to beef up security around the Achimota Forest Reserve area in the wake of increasing cases of crime around the forest enclave.

According to him, the forest has become a den for criminals because the bushy nature of the area “is conducive for criminal activities.”
Speaking on TV3’s Midday News, he urged the Police to periodically patrol the area and conduct swoops to help rid the forest of criminals. “The environment looks conducive for criminals because they are able to perpetrate their crime and quickly vanish into the bush. So it is a major cause for concern. Unfortunately, we seem not to be paying attention to it and I’m wondering how many more people we are waiting to become victims,” Mr Saani said.

His comments follow increasing cases of crime within and around the Achimota Forest Reserve in recent years.

According to the Police, about five criminal cases are recorded in a week around the Achimota Forest area of the N1 Highway.

In November last year, a woman was stabbed in the shoulder and her handbag and mobile phone was taken from her. According to the police, the criminals quickly dashed into the Achimota Forest Reserve for cover after the attack.

Mr Saani, who is also the Executive Director of the Jatikay Center for Human Security and Peace Building, joined calls for the fencing of the forest to help safeguard the area against criminal invasion and enhance security management.
He said although the fencing may be expensive, investments in security must always be a priority for the country.
He further called on the police to plant intelligence officers in the area to gather relevant information to foil the activities of criminals.
“There are a lot of wee smoking joints in the forest and I think another action that can be taken is to perhaps gather some intelligence. This will not be laborious. The police can get some intelligence officers to mingle with the groups as a way of cracking these criminal networks,” he said.
Mr Saani also urged the public to take their personal security serious and avoid dangerous routes especially in the night as doing so may expose them to criminal attacks.

“If you have bush around your facility, you should always ensure that it is cleared so it doesn’t become a safe hiding place for criminals,” he advised.

Tension as Police Officials fume over salary drop after elections
There is growing resentment among the rank and file of the Ghana Police Service following a drastic drop in their December salaries.

The difference in salaries barely two weeks after December 7, 2020, general elections is fuelling rumours that the recent upward adjustment in their salary was rose to possibly influence them ahead of the general elections.

Many of them are already protesting on social media platforms with varied comments expressing anger, regret and with some saying they have been taken for granted.

One comment read, “December is here, and as usual, government workers would be taken salaries earlier than usual, what the officers are saying is that Salary adjustments announced in November and paid successfully are nowhere to be found, It has flipped, flopped and disappeared subsequently.”

In November, barely a month to the December 7 elections rumours were rife that the over 23,000 personnel of the Service, for example, had been surprised with over 100% pay rise across board.

Director of Public Affairs at the Police Service, Superintendent Kwesi Fori who confirmed in an interview described the pay rise as “shocking and very positive”.

The government was tight-lipped over the increment, but leaked pay slips confirmed that the lowest rank in the Police service has seen about 200 percent increase in their take-home pay.

But December slips have left many hoping to smile home again devastated.

One post read “John Mahama predicted that; He actually said many of the freebies announced by the government including the unannounced salary increments were to win votes. November Pay was prompt. December, our hopes have been dashed. A huge slap in the face. Removal from CAP 30 is next.”

Another Facebook message said “Dear Nana Addo and IGP. The salary adjustment that was paid to Police Officers in November and was publicly announced. Please come out and make it public again that it has been removed after the elections.”

The Ghana Police Service is yet to officially respond to the allegations or clarify the matter.
