The officer in question has been promoted from the rank of Corporal to Sergeant with immediate effect.
The Inspector General of Police (IGP) has promoted the police officer who was injured during a shoot-out between the police and suspects of the Caprice robbery.
In a statement, the Ghana Police said the officer in question has been promoted from the rank of Corporal to Sergeant with immediate effect.
On Monday, one person was arrested, with two shot dead in connection with last Friday’s robbery at Caprice, where a Chinese businesswoman was shot in the hand and robbed of an unspecified amount of money.
The police officer who got injured in the process suffered multi-fragmented fractures to the bone of his right thigh.
“The police administration has, therefore, made the necessary provision under the Police Emergency Medical Intervention Fund (PEMIF), which was launched by President Nana Akufo-Addo in January this year to ensure he receives the best medical care available in Ghana or in other parts of the world as the case may be,” the statement added.
