He told TV3's New Day programme that a neutral person should have been appointed to head the department.

ACP Addo-Danquah took over from COP Bright Oduro who was fired from his position three months to his retirement.

He is due for retirement in January 2018.

A memo from the Inspector General of Police, David Asante Apeatu, asked ACP Addo-Danquah to act as the CID boss.

Sources say COP Oduro's ouster from office was due to several petitions against him in connection with land related issues.
