Former Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Paul Tawiah Quaye, is reported dead.
The former police chief, known for his firm stance on discipline and commitment to modernising the Ghana Police Service, reportedly passed away following a period of illness.
Details surrounding his death remain limited.
While official confirmation from the family is still being finalised, senior police sources have begun sharing tributes to the late law enforcement officer.
Paul Tawiah Quaye was appointed Inspector-General of Police by the late President John Evans Atta Mills in 2009.
During his tenure, he was credited with launching several initiatives aimed at restoring public confidence in the police and ensuring that officers adhered to the highest standards of professional conduct.
Often referred to by colleagues as a “gentle giant” for his calm demeanour and firm command, Mr Quaye retired from the Ghana Police Service in 2013 after decades of dedicated service.
