Kudalor hands over to new IGP Apeatu

Apeatu was appointed as the acting IGP by President Nana Akufo-Addo following the retirement of John Kudalor, who served in that capacity for two years.

Soon after his appointment, Apeatu axed the Director-General of the CID, COP Prosper Agblor, to head the Special Duties Department as the Director General.

His Deputy, ACP Dennis Ako-Dem, was also moved to the Special Duties Department.

Mr Kudalor expressed confidence in his successor, saying he has the requisite competence to superintend the Ghana Police Service.

Speaking at the change of command parade and pulling out ceremony in Accra on Friday February 3, Mr Kudalor charged the new police administration to continue to build upon his achievement by maintaining peace and tranquillity.

"To the best of my ability, I have handed over the baton as the rules dictate. I’m very confident that my [successor], Mr David Apeatu, is well placed to run his duties very well. To God be the glory. The old order has given way to the new …change is necessary and divine, therefore, let us all embrace this change with our hearts, body, and soul and ensure that it pays positively,” he said.

“I entreat the government to continue to allocate to the service the necessary equipment and logistics to enable the service perform effectively and efficiently thus to live up to its expectation.”
