He was recently transferred to the Eastern Region as Commander by Inspector General of Police, John Kudalor.

He had been heading the Motor Traffic and Transport Department of the Ghana Police Service.

He late Awuni was known for his honest and frank talk and had several brushes with political authorities.

Speaking to Oman FM’s Eastern Regional correspondent Sampson Kumwuramuhene, the Deputy Eastern Regional Commander, ACP James Abass said, they were shocked over the sudden passing away of their boss.

ACP Abass described Mr. Awuni as an exceptional police officer who exhibited honesty at all times.

“His idea of honesty and his idea about policing was quite different from any other person and he spoke his mind else; he fought corruption with all is zeal and it didn't matter whose ox was gored; Awuni would put it bluntly to you when you were wrong."

According to ACP Abass, the entire Eastern Regional had been devasted by Mr. Awuni's death because "in his brief stay with us here, he introduced his dynamism, his frankness, his utmost honesty that he is noted for and these had an impact on all of us here."

"Awuni had no peer in the Ghana Police Service," he stated.
