The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has promoted 25 police personnel for their outstanding performance and contributions to combating crime across the country.

The promotions were announced in recognition of the officers’ involvement in several successful operations in the Bono East, Tema and Western Central Police Regions.

Among the operations were the arrest of robbery suspects and the seizure of 866 parcels of suspected cocaine at the Tema Harbour.

Some of the personnel were specifically recognised for helping to arrest six suspects allegedly involved in a robbery in which GH¢300,000 was reportedly stolen from a victim along the Portor-Kawempe section of the Kintampo-Buipe Highway on July 19, 2026.

Others were commended for their role in apprehending four alleged members of a robbery syndicate connected to a violent robbery incident at Wassa Akropong in the Tarkwa area.

The personnel who benefited from the promotions include Chief Inspectors Bede Nwinbomeh and Joe Tetteh; General Sergeants Elijah Ndaga Yinimi and Kaifan Sulemanna; and General Corporals Owusu Ansah Evans and Tansang Jonathan.

Also promoted are General Lance Corporals Osei Christopher Bonny, Kyei Francis, Ofori Francis, Anim Dominic and Asante Isaac.

General Constables Adam Bakari Alhassan and Bakai Mark, Detective Chief Inspector Frank Dzah, Detective Inspectors Edem Ametowoga, Abroso and Vincent Dankwah, as well as Detective Sergeants Salifu Yakubu and Samuel Mordzifa, were also promoted.

Six additional police personnel received promotions to their next ranks for their contributions to the fight against crime.

The Ghana Police Service said the promotions were intended to reward the officers for their dedication, professionalism, bravery and commitment to protecting lives and property.

Chief Inspectors Bede Nwinbomeh and Joe Tetteh have also been granted automatic admission to the Police Academy.

The IGP, together with members of the Police Management Board (POMAB), congratulated the beneficiaries and urged them to uphold the highest standards of discipline and professionalism in their service to the country.

Mr Yohuno further assured personnel of the Police Service that the administration would continue to recognise and reward officers who demonstrate exceptional commitment and achieve notable results in the fight against crime.
