In the midst of his attempts to protect the Region Four Statements of Poll (SOPs) and other elections material, Assistant Commissioner of Police Edgar Thomas said he was relieved of his Command of the division because he refused to comply with instructions which were coming from the then Deputy Chief Election Officer (DCEO) Roxanne Myers, who appeared to have the support of his superiors.
Thomas, who has served the force for 39 years, said he was resultantly reassigned without being given reasons.
“I received a letter from Deputy Commissioner Williams. Well he said to me first that the Commissioner was not pleased with my performance. The letter clearly stated that I am no longer in command of Region Division 4 and I was assigned as a patrol officer at Force Headquarters,” Thomas told the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the March 2020 elections yesterday.
