How Security Chief Was Removed

....UNSIGNED MEMO INFORMED ONE OF THEM OF REMOVAL
One of the two capos of the Ghana Prisons Service and the Ghana National Fire Service removed from office last week was informed of his removal via an unsigned memo sent to him earlier.

The memo was sent by Deputy Interior Minister, Thomas Yaw Broni.

GYE NYAME CONCORD gathered that whilst Fire Service ex-capo, Elias Adablanu, knew there were plans to ditch him because of an unsigned memo delivered to him, by Broni, former Prisons Director General, Richard Kuuire was unaware.

He had however been queried over comments made on radio after John Malm a.k.a Baby Nii’s escape from the Nsawam Medium Security Prisons and could have guessed he was equally being pushed out.

Both Kuuire and Adablanu got officially signed letters removing them from their posts hours after the paper reported it.
