There hasn't been an increase in crime; we're in command, say the cops.

The Ghana Police Service has stated that the country's security situation is under control and that there is no increase in crime.

According to the service, it is still committed to fighting crime in Ghana.

Following the assassination of a private legal practitioner, Richard Badombia, the Ghana Bar Association (GBA) expressed alarm.

Mr. Badombia was shot and died in a robbery on the Savannah Region's Bole-Bamboo Highway.

The GBA has expressed deep worry about the recent increase in armed robbery incidents and other violent crimes throughout the country.

As a result, the group has called on security agencies, among other things, to improve broad public education on crime prevention and detection to raise citizen security awareness.

However, a statement written by DCOP Kwesi Ofori, Director of Public Affairs, stated that they fight crime every day and address all cases with the same urgency and professionalism and that they lament any deaths.
