The Ghana Police Service has removed 11 police officials from the Flagstaff House where they were detailed and has reassigned them.
The move has prompted claims of political persecution, but the police service has denied those claims.
The Public Affairs Director of the service, Superintendent Cephas Arthur, told Accra-based Class FM on Tuesday that the changes were not influenced by the government of Nana Akufo-Addo.
He said the decision to move those men had been taken solely by the Inspector General of Police, John Kudalor.
