As part of the last minute granting of presidential pardon by President J.A. Kufuor, the set aside Director of Police Operations, ACP Nathaniel Kofi Boakye, has been handed back his job.

In a release signed by the Attorney General and the Minister of Justice, the crack police officer, who just graduated from the Ghana Law School as the overall best student, has been reinstated together with all his entitlements, after he was asked to proceed on leave for his involvement in the MV Benjamin Cocaine saga

Dilating on the statement signed by the Attorney General yesterday, the Deputy Minister of Information, Mr. Frank Agyekum told Joy news that the government was no more interested in the recommendations by the Georgina Wood Committee, who had given instructions that ACP Boakye should be prosecuted for conniving with four other people, to find the owners of the cocaine, who were alleged to be Colombians, other than arresting them and handing them over to the law enforcement agencies.

The police boss has been away from the police service since 2006.

When The Chronicle contacted ACP Boakye about the decision of the President, he responded that he had not yet received an official letter from the government, and as a result he preferred to be mum for now.
