Recent activities of some officers of the Ghana Police Service have helped to largely restore its public image with Ghanaians including another benevolent gesture of Lance Corporal Simon Agbeko Ekpeagba.
The kind-hearted police officer, who is stationed at the Accra Regional Command has earned a special spot in the hearts of many Ghanaians stemming from a good deed he undertook as part of a community service.
Lance Corporal Simon, through his own initiative undertook a clean-up exercise to desilt choked drains and constructed a concrete slab with his own money to cover the gutter at Tudu in Accra Central to prevent any mishap from happening to road users.
The police officer willfully descended into every gutter to remove debris to ensure the free flow of water.
After the drainage got damaged and was not repaired for nearly six months, it became necessary that someone did the needful to prevent any unfortunate situation from occurring and the police officer used his money to start and finish the construction to save lives.
