COP Nathan Kofi Boakye, one of the most popular and loved senior police officers in Ghana, officially retired from the Ghana Police Service after turning 60 years old, on Wednesday, April 5, 2023.

COP Kofi Boakye, who is popularly known as Commander One, served for over 30 years in the police service. Until his retirement, he was the head of the Ghana Police Service’s Legal and Prosecution Division.

He has been credited with some of the most high-profile crime-fighting efforts the country has ever seen. For instance, in 2005, he led officers from the Accra Region Command to apprehend the notorious armed robber, Ataa Ayi.

Visuals from his retirement cum birthday party showed notable Ghanaians including the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare as well as businessmen, Osei Kwame Despite, Dr Ernest Ofori Sarpong and Ibrahim Mahama at the event.

Also present were veteran broadcaster Kofi Okyere Darko, popularly known as KOD, and the founder and leader of Anointed Palace Chapel (APC), Prophet Asanteman Bofour (Rev Obofour).

The IGP decorated Commander One with a distinguished service medal for his distinguished unblemished service to the police.
