  "account": "Inspector-General of Police Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno has urged road users to yield to Armoured Bullion Vehicles (ABVs) and practice patience when encountering them. He emphasized the importance of cooperation for the safe and efficient movement of these specialized vehicles, which transport cash and valuables. This appeal came during a workshop organized by the Ministry of Interior in Accra, where private security organizations, Cash-in-Transit operators, retrofitting companies, and importers gathered to better understand the regulations governing ABVs. The IGP highlighted the growing demand for ABVs, which necessitates adherence to strict construction, security, and operational standards. The Ghana Police Service has established regional and district enforcement teams to enforce these guidelines and has removed soft-skinned Cash-in-Transit vehicles from service since the directive from the Minister of Interior. The IGP also introduced a standard operating procedure, which complements the Bank of Ghana's standards, to regulate the use of ABVs. He called on regional, divisional, and district commanders to assist enforcement teams in verifying ABVs' legitimacy and certification, reporting non-compliant entities to the relevant authorities. Stakeholders were reminded that the secure transportation of cash is a shared responsibility and urged everyone to cooperate.",
