The Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Bright Oduro, has been asked to proceed on leave.
Informants within the police hierarchy have said the crime expert will not return to his post, which he assumed on January 28, 2017, following the change of government.
The former Greater Accra crime officer, according to reliable sources, has accumulated leave prior to his retirement in January 2018.
He has, however, been instructed to go on leave which will run into his retirement period.
Bright Oduro was assisted by Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah and she will be Acting as the Director-General of the CID until a substantive head is appointed.
However, names emerging who are likely to be appointed as the Director General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) include Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah and COP Dr George Akuffo Dampare.
But, it is not certain if ACP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah will take over from her boss due to her involvement in the A-Plus saga which rocked the Department a few weeks ago.
A new CID boss is expected to be made public soon.
However, there is a high possibility that the mantle will fall on COP Dr George Akuffo Dampare.
