Commenting on DCOP Awuni’s death, Nana Akufo Addo tweeted: “Saddened by the news of ACP Awuni’s death. Condolences to his family; may he rest in peace. Ghana has lost a fine, principled Police Officer.” Capture DCOP Awuni was an accredited member and a Council Member of the Institute of Public Relations, Ghana. He served in the Police Service from 1980 and held various positions such as Director of Public Relations, District Police Commander, Divisional Police Commander, Regional Police Commander and Commanding officer-MTTU.
