“Like all Ghanaians, we in the Police Service were deeply saddened by her passing. Her advocacy for women’s empowerment and gender inclusion directly inspired reforms in our institution,” ACP Ansah-Akrofi said.
She highlighted that Nana Konadu’s leadership and advocacy paved the way for more women to join the Ghana Police Service and attain senior leadership positions.
“We are grateful for the many lives she touched and the institutions she strengthened. The Police Service is one of the beneficiaries of her remarkable work,” she added.
