Speaking to YEN.com.gh about the milestone, the kind-hearted police officer expressed delight.
''I am excited about this award. It's my seventh or eighth award. It shows that people are watching what I'm doing to impact society.

Meet Simon Agbeko
In a previous story, YEN.com.gh reported that Corporal Agbeko Simon Ekpeagba wanted to assist the less fortunate members of society long before he joined the Ghana Police Service as an officer to serve the nation, the poor and the needy.
Due to his modest upbringing, the native of Denu in Ghana's Volta Region can better relate to and comprehend the concerns of the underprivileged.
He was raised by his mother, a petty trader and his late father, a police officer. Before he passed away in 2020, Simon's father tried his best to support the family.
