ACP Gyimah prior to moving to the Volta Region, was head of Ashaiman Division in the Greater Accra Region.

One Charity Dorcas on Facebook says he was “A dedicated policeman, who loved people. You were a darling to many. Anyone who met you can testify to it. When I visited Ghana this August you arranged my reception treated me well, and I felt like I was in a presidential entourage. The people of Volta region have list a great leader. Our class in Israel were all smiles every time you spoke. The last day I deputized you as MC. Rest in peace General. Am still shaky I can’t believe it’s true. May God with the love of Christmas comfort your family”
