Mahama appoints retired COP Nathan Kofi Boakye as Director of Operations at the Presidency
President John Dramani Mahama has appointed retired Commissioner of Police (COP) Nathan Kofi Boakye as the new Director of Operations at the Presidency.
In his new role, Boakye will oversee operational effectiveness in security matters.
COP Boakye, affectionately known as “Commander One,” retired in 2023 after an illustrious career spanning over three decades in active service.
Throughout his career, he became a household name for his outstanding crime-fighting efforts.
In 2005, he led officers from the Accra Region Command to apprehend the notorious armed robber Ataa Ayi and his gang, solidifying his reputation as one of the country’s most effective law enforcement officers.
His tenure as the police chief in the Ashanti Region further earned him respect, as his bold and dynamic approach to tackling crime resulted in the successful capture of several high-profile criminals in Kumasi and surrounding areas.
COP Boakye’s career was also marked by his controversial yet impactful decisions, such as the high-profile arrests of public figures, including musicians Kwaw Kese and Shatta Wale, as well as former Local Government Minister Maxwell Kofi Jumah.
His firm and unyielding stance on law and order has earned him a strong following and solidified his place as one of Ghana’s most revered security experts.
