ACP (Rtd) Dr. Benjamin Agordzo has issued a strong rebuttal to a recent Right to Information (RTI) report produced by the Ghana Police Service (GPS).

The report, signed by COP Paul Manly Awini, has sparked controversy after being linked to a petition by one Kojo Otchere calling for Dr. Agordzo’s removal as a lecturer at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA).

The retired police officer has publicly addressed the matter, expressing his concerns about inaccuracies in the report and the motives behind its release.

“Diana Daniels, a close ally of IGP Dampare, requested the RTI report. Their shared interest in procurement issues within the GPS raises questions,” Dr. Agordzo claimed.

He suggested that Daniels’ actions were driven by displeasure over his outspoken criticism of IGP Dampare. “She has even threatened to beat me if I’m not arrested.

One thing I’m assuring Diana Daniels of is that I will continue to critique the IGP Dampare’s style of leadership,” he said, vowing to ensure that Daniels’ alleged deals with the GPS would be investigated when Dampare is no longer in office.

Dr. Agordzo also pointed out factual errors in the RTI report. “The GPS produced this report without verifying the facts from my file.

It is interesting that Diana Daniels made her request on December 12, 2024, but the report is dated December 9, 2024. Maybe they were in a hurry to carry out their diabolic agenda,” he stated, adding that COP Paul Manly Awuni had acknowledged the inaccuracies and promised corrections.

The retired officer did not mince words about the potential misuse of the RTI Act. “I’m in talks with my lawyers for possible legal action against GPS and Diana Daniels for abusing the RTI Act to tarnish my reputation. If anyone can apply for inaccurate RTI reports and publish them on social media, then nobody is safe,” he warned.

Addressing the petition by Kojo Otchere, which sought his removal from UPSA, Dr. Agordzo questioned its rationale.

“What does my criticism of IGP Dampare have to do with my role as a lecturer? Is Kojo Otchere suggesting that any lecturer who criticizes leaders and governments should be removed? I leave that matter to UPSA to decide,” he remarked.

Dr. Agordzo also reflected on his past experiences with the GPS, recounting how he was removed from the service for refusing to carry out an unlawful order while stationed in Bolgatanga.

“I disobeyed what I considered an unlawful order, and given another opportunity, I’d do the same today,” he affirmed.

These incidents and more are chronicled in his book, From Persecution to Freedom: Reflections on My Journey Through the Justice System in Ghana, which he launched in October 2024.

He highlighted that the issues raised in the RTI report were already addressed in the book, particularly in pages 92 to 100.
