The Upper East Regional Police Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Sayibu Pabi Gariba, has given the people of the Upper East Region a solid promise that the police will not conceal anybody found guilty in the burning of Madam Faustina Aboba’s house and pub.
DCOP Gariba told the media during a Press Soiree in Bolgatanga that he wants justice to triumph, which is why he launched an inquiry into all of the charges made by the complainant, Madam Aboba, and the police officer accused of setting fire to the home and the bar.

“The woman in question, I know her personally. She has been to my office and home to complain and I authorised an investigation to be done. We have informed headquarters and the initial set-rep has been sent, the administrative report has been finished, and police procedures will kick in. I can assure you that we are not shielding anybody,” he said.
Background
It will be recalled that 36-year-old Faustina Aboba’s pub and apartment were razed down by fire three weeks ago in Tanzui community, a suburb of Bolgatanga allegedly by a police officer named Sergeant Saviour Senaya.
The officer was said to be with the Upper East Regional Police Command and was accused of setting fire to Faustina’s pub and apartment after a misunderstanding broke between him and Faustina sister’s daughter, Eunice who was said to be his lover.
Eunice, according to Faustina is in her early 20s and was dating the officer. When the officer discovered that, Eunice has an ex-boyfriend, the officer went bitter and told Eunice that he will teach her a lesson and as a result burnt her apartment and pub.
