Commander of National Security Unit SWAT, DSP Samuel Azugu
The ASP Samuel Azugu is again in the news, this time as a commander of the masked SWAT team who has been guilty of killing civilians in the by-election of Ayawaso Wuogon in Accra.
Many social media users have criticized the police for his contradictory story before the Short Commission of Inquiry, calling some of his narrations ridiculous.
It appears however that the Agogo feud between the Fulani shepherds and the inhabitants of Agogo was fed by the same ASP Azugu while he was police chief of Asante Akim North district.
ASP Samuel Azugu was dismissed following the worsening of the security crisis involving nomadic pastoralists when he was accused of defending herders and warning them because he owned cattle in his custody of these guardians.
So he was transferred. Leaders of the community of Agogo, in the Asante Akim North district of the Ashanti region at the time, said they had lost confidence in the police commander, still at home. taken with SWAT team management issues.
During the Agogo Crisis, the region's deputy, Andy Appiah-Kubi, accused Commander Azugu of being complicit in the security crisis that claimed the lives of several people on both sides.
"The district commander incites the herdsmen against our people. We have evidence that the shepherds bring him beef. The captain also has cattle that the livestock keepers are raising for him, "said the MP of the NPP.
"Even the dogs here in Agogo do not want to work with him. He did not help us. He could not help us, "said the MP to Ohemeng Tawiah of Nhyira FM.
