DCOP Kwasi Ofori, a former Director of Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service, has stated that the Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Grande, who doubles as Deputy Director of Operations at the presidency, must be put in check.
According to the retired police officer, he aims to drag the presidential staffer to court over allegations and defamation concerning the demolition of his storey-building at Amranhia in the Greater Accra Region during his days in office.
Mustapha, on several platforms including Okay FM, has accused the retiree of collapsing his building.
However, DCOP Ofori asserted that the said building was demolished on the order of the court, and the duty of the police was to provide security, hence he should desist from threatening some of the officers who were part of the operation with dismissal.
Speaking in an interview on Okay FM on February 10, 2025, he stated, “The last time, he met some of the police officers and threatened them that he would sack them for providing security coverage for the demolition of his building.
“But in this country, there is a court system, and we, the police, are servants of the country. We just provided security; it was a court officer who was engaged in the demolition exercise, and the police were just providing security.
“So, I will plead with Mustapha that what he is doing, at least he is educated, so if he is knowledgeable enough to read between the lines, he shouldn’t disgrace himself, his party, or the government, and he should go straight to the facts.
“Because using your personal issues for politics is not right. I believe he should be put to order, no matter who he is. I told him that as police officers we have provided security on different assignments.
“If he believes I demolished his building, he should go to court. I will also take him to court.”
