Day in and day out, it is the wish of the police and other security agencies to be provided tip offs by civilians whenever they suspect ongoing criminal acts. But how well do these security agencies protect the identity of their informants? And how long does it take to affect the arrest of known criminals caught in the act of criminality? In a bid to help the police combat crime, a 19 year old boy (name withheld for security reasons) informed the Wenchi Police about a vast land of which has been used for the cultivation of some plants suspected to be Indian hemp in a village called Badu in the Brong Ahafo Region. As patriotic as the young man is, he lead the police to embark on operation on the land which lead to the arrest of three Jamaicans, the seizure of generators and other equipments being used on the land. An amount of $75,000 belonging to one of the Jamaicans was also seized in the operation. The Wenchi police thereafter asked the boy to go back to school since the ball is now in their court to proceed with investigations. Dead end number one. However, a few months later, the informant was alerted that, the police had freed the suspects after allegedly taking some monies from them. Not deterred, the teenager risked his life by pursuing the case to the offices of the B/A Regional Crime officer, Supt/Mr. Charles Doman Ban, who delegated one Police CID to visit the area together with the boy for future investigations. Peace news spoke with said the CID who for some reasons, pleaded for anonymity. He confirmed the story as true. According to him, he was led to the huge farmland (about 80acres of wee) by the informant. Dead end Number two. The case was pursued no further leading to teenager to believe that some money had changed hands between the B/A Regional Crime Officer and the said Jamaicans. But when Peace news called up Supt/Mr. Charles Doman Ban, he denied the allegations and stressed that �I am not in the position to comment but rather the Brong Ahafo Regional Police Commander will be in the best person to dilate on the issue.� Interestingly, DCOP Seth Oteng, the B/A Regional Police Commander was categorically in his denial about having been privy to the case. He, however, admitted that Badu is a village noted for Marijuana cultivation. The situation turned curious by the day as the owners of the marijuana farm now threatened to deal ruthlessly with him (the police informant). Several attempts were made on his life, but fortunately he survived them all. How they got to know his identity still remains a mystery. With his life in danger and a fugitive for the right reasons, since the marijuana cultivators were determine not to let him publicize the trade, the youngman, still determined to see justice served and the owners of the wee farm behind bars, then travelled all the way from the Brong Ahafo to Accra and informed the security agencies. PEACEFM is reliably informed that the National Security Council, the Narcotics Control Board (NACOB) and other relevant state security agencies are aware of the issue. According to the young man, he has pursued this case to the Narcotics Control Board, National Police Headquarters, and even National Security but yet nothing has been done about it. �Perhaps the security agencies are building a water-tight case before moving in, but truth be told, there is so much dragging of feet in the matter. The pace at which they are gathering evidence (if indeed they are) leaves much to be desired,� the police informant said in an interview on PEACEFM, a couple of days ago. PEACEFM will upload the full unedited interview with the teenager before the week expires. Meanwhile, the PRO of NACOB, Francis Opoku Amoah, confirmed the story in an interview during PEACEFM News@6pm. He, however, called for patience and not attribute the perceived delay to inaction on the part of the security agencies.
