The mortal remains of former Inspector General of Police (IGP), Paul Tawiah Quaye, were conveyed to the funeral grounds at the State House on Saturday in a solemn ceremony marked by full police honours and rich ceremonial traditions.
A motorcade of four vehicles led the procession, escorting the hearse to the funeral venue as family members, friends, dignitaries, serving and retired security personnel, and members of the public gathered to pay their final respects.
Upon arrival, a contingent of police officers received the remains from the ambulance and performed a ceremonial march in a disciplined display of respect. The officers, dressed in colourful ceremonial uniforms and carrying rifles, carefully escorted the casket to the centre of the funeral grounds.
The solemn proceedings reflected the late former IGP’s years of service to the nation and his contribution to law enforcement and public safety in Ghana. The atmosphere was one of deep reflection, with mourners observing the rites in quiet remembrance.
The funeral forms part of activities to honour and celebrate the life and legacy of Paul Tawiah Quaye, whose leadership within the Ghana Police Service is widely acknowledged for its impact on policing in the country.
Tributes have continued to pour in from colleagues, public officials, and members of the public, describing him as a disciplined leader, dedicated public servant, and patriot who served Ghana with distinction.
