The ongoing trial of Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Dr Benjamin Agordzo over an alledged coup plot has caught the attention of the United Nation after the police officer wore a UN uniform to court.
According what we sighted on Mynewsgh.com, the international body wants to know why the senior police officer wore UN uniform to court and if it was sanctioned by the Ghana Police Service considering the implications of such an action.
“Under the regulations governing conduct of officers in the Ghana Police Service, when an officer is facing a service enquiry and is in uniform, he or she must remove the barrette and the belt because it is the individual who is being questioned and not the entire service which is the crown. It was therefore wrong to have worn UN uniform to the court”, a source revealed to the website.

By this conduct, the UN is likely to sanction ACP Dr Benjamin Agordzo for violating its code of conduct and refuse him engagements in the future.
Meanwhile, it is emerging that he ended the UN mission in August 2019 and claims that he was still on mission before being dragged into the country to answer for his roles in the alleged coup plot are untrue.
He is facing charges of Abetment to Commit Crime; namely, Treason Felony contrary to section 20(1) and 182 (b) of the Criminal and Other Offences Act 1960 (Act 29).
