In a statement issued on Friday, February 21, Assistant Commissioner Grace Ansah-Akrofi affirmed that the service had taken all necessary steps to ensure Inspector Kuuzaa received the best possible medical care.
According to the statement, the officer is currently receiving treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, where he has undergone the required surgeries.

Additionally, the statement noted that the Ashanti Regional Police Director of Welfare has been working closely with Inspector Kuuzaa’s family and medical team, providing support and acting as the primary liaison between the police service and his relatives.
Dismissing the allegations of neglect as false, the police urged the public to disregard such reports.
"The Ghana Police Service wishes to categorically state that the publication alleging neglect of our colleague officer is false and should be treated with the contempt it deserves," the statement read.
The service further extended its best wishes to Inspector Kuuzaa for a speedy recovery and commended officers who continue to put their lives at risk to maintain peace and security in the country.
