The Ejura Divisional Council presided over by the Ejurahene, Barimah Osei Hwedie II, has handed over an eight-bedroom apartment to the Ghana Police Service. The accommodation, comprising four two-bedroom self-contained units, was rented for two years at a cost of nearly 200,000 cedis.
The apartments will serve as residence for four senior police officers posted to the Ashanti North Regional Police Command. Each unit features two bedrooms, a kitchen, living area, washrooms and utilities for comfortable living.
This gesture comes to complement the construction of a GHc2.8 million ultra-modern divisional police headquarters in Ejura by the chief in October 2023, which necessitated the deployment of police personnel to the area.
The Ejura chief handed over keys to the apartment to the police on last Monday, July 21, 2025 and emphasised the need for the public to support the government in providing maximum security to the people.
He revealed that the rent was paid by the Ejura Divisional Council with support from farmers in the area. Barimah Osei Hwedie II pledged the divisional council’s commitment to supporting security and development in the area.
DCOP Jude Cobina, on behalf of the Ashanti North Police Command, commended the Ejurahene for the support.
He called on the police officers to ensure proper maintenance of the facility and reaffirmed the police’s commitment to protecting lives and properties.
