PPBS Probes DOVVSU Husband ‘Snatcher’

The case in which a female DOVVSU officer is alleged to have snatched husband of a complainant has attracted a swift intervention by the Police Administration, who have also ordered a probe to also be conducted by the Police Professional Standards Bureau (PPBS). The Director General in charge of Welfare, DCOP Habiba Twumasi-

Sarpong, has also assured the public that the police is investigating the matter. We will investigate the matter and take the necessary actions, she said. The media earlier reported that a complainant has also accused a DOVVSU Officer of snatching her husband from her at Katamanso in Tema. Mary Agbenu Edorla, the aggrieved

woman, said she has now lost her husband, Stephen Tengey to Detective Chief Inspector Divina Worlanya Afenu, a DOVVSU officer stationed at the Katamanso Police Station. This police woman then used to call my husband at odd hours, but I was made to believe that she also needed information from my husband for her

investigations, but little did I know that they were having an affair, she said. The aggrieved woman said that Chief Inspector Afenu invited Mr. Tengey to help in the initial investigation of a case she sent to DOVVSU. Now she has succeeded in taking away my husband in the name of investigations, and as we speak, they are currently

living as husband and wife, the woman alleged.Narrating how everything started, Madam Edorla said she has been legally married to Mr. Tengey for the past three years, and they lived happily until one day a domestic help they also lived with left the house. The girl actually stole my money, and when I reprimanded her, she left the house to

an unknown place, she explained.The woman said that evening, a neighbour, in the company of a police officer, brought the victim to the house with a report that they spotted her loitering about in an uncompleted building, and when they questioned her, she confessed that her mother threatened to assault her.Madam Edorla said she

was invited to the police station to give her statement, and to invite the biological parents of the victim to the station. My husband, upon his return to the house, was given the news, and quickly he drove to the police station where Chief Inspector Afenu was the case officer. The case officer, upon introduction, asked my husband to go

to the village of the victim to bring her biological parents, which he did. After settling the case, I realised that Chief Inspector Afenu constantly called my husband on phone at night, and whenever I ask him about that, he tells me it was part of their investigations (sic). I accepted this excuse until one day when I saw some nude pictures she

had sent to the mobile phone of my husband, and that was when I also discovered that they were having an affair, she said. She said initially, Chief Inspector Afenu denied the allegation when she confronted her, until she spotted her husband leaving the police woman’s house one morning after spending the night.Madam Edorla said

she confronted them, and in the process her husband assaulted her. I initially reported the matter to some senior police officers at the station where the woman works, but they did nothing, so personally, I reported the case to Chief Superintendent Adu, the Divisional Commander, she disclosed.
