We’ll stop escorting your cash if you don’t buy armoured bullion vans – IGP to banks

The Inspector-General of Police has given the Banks in Ghana a June 30 deadline to procure armoured vehicles to cart cash countrywide or risk the withdrawal of police escort.

This follows the murder of a police officer and one other by suspected robbers during the hauling of cash at James Town in Accra.

Meanwhile, a statement issued by the Bank of Ghana last year, rather directed the association of bankers to procure a fit-for-purpose vehicle for bulk cash transfer by 2023.
