The Ghana Police Service has rejected assertions by the Ghana Bar Association, GBA, that Ghana ‘s rate of violent crimes is at an alarming level.

It says, “there is no upsurge in crime. The Service is on top of the security situation.”

The leadership of GBA had said there was an increasing spate of armed robbery and other violent crimes in the country following the killing of one of its members, Richard Badombie, by armed men in the Savannah Region  Saturday, May 28, 2022.

The lawyer was shot dead when the occupants of a Hyundai Accent saloon car with registration number GN 9890-17 were attacked between Banda Nkwanta and Nuoyiri.
