A private businessman Kojo Okyere has petitioned the Vice Chancellor of the University of Professional Studies (UPSA) to terminate the appointment of retired Police Officer, Dr.
Benjamin Agordzor as a lecturer of the University over his record of "misconduct" and corresponding sanctions while in the Police Service as contained in an RTI request.
