NARPO-GH Denies Involvement in Supreme Court Suit Against COP Nathan Kofi Boakye’s Nomination

The National Association of Retired Police Officers, Ghana (NARPO-GH), has firmly denied any connection to a Supreme Court lawsuit challenging the nomination of COP Nathaniel Kofi Boakye (Rtd) to the Police Council.

In a statement issued on Thursday, June 26, 2025, and signed by eight members of its Functional Executive Committee, NARPO-GH clarified that the plaintiff, Henrietta Nana Yaa Simpson, has no affiliation with the association.

“The said plaintiff, Henrietta Nana Yaa Simpson, is neither a registered nor a known member of NARPO-GH. Indeed, she has no formal or informal relations with NARPO-GH,” the association emphasized.

According to the statement, the Executive Committee never discussed or approved any legal action concerning COP Boakye’s nomination. The association described the lawsuit as “unauthorised and misleading,” firmly disassociating itself from Simpson’s actions.

Reaffirming its stance, NARPO-GH expressed full support for COP Boakye, noting: “We fully support COP Mr Nathan Kofi Boakye (Rtd) and believe he possesses the necessary qualifications and expertise to represent all retired police officers, irrespective of rank.”

The disclaimer was signed by prominent members of the association, including Vice President COP Richard Safo-Kwarteng (Rtd), Secretary DCOP George Anko-Bil (Rtd), and NAPWA President Mrs. Cecilia Ayi-Bonte, among others.
