Inspector-General of Police Christian Tetteh Yohuno has promoted 30 officers in recognition of their outstanding professionalism and vigilance during two high-stakes operations in the Ashanti Region.
The promotions, effective January 5, 2026, honor contributions to intercepting illegal arms and thwarting a planned highway robbery syndicate over the Christmas period.
In the first operation at Kantanso Asankare Police Barrier, officers seized 2,600 rounds of AK-47 ammunition from a bus, along with two bulletproof plates, a black helmet, and long boots hidden under the driver’s seat.
Promoted for this success were: C/Inspr Tibim Acheampong Solomon, Inspr Sarfo Adu Daniel, G/L Cpl Saeed Frimpong, G/Const Sremsei Simon, PW/Const Kissi Dorcas Serwaah, G/Const Arthur Emmanuel Nkrumah, G/Const Dennis Danquah, G/Const Philip Lawer Nyarko, G/Const Owusu Kenneth, and G/Const Christian Buaben Kwadzo Addo.
The second involved 20 officers from Ashanti and Ashanti South Commands who, acting on intelligence, dismantled a robbery gang along Antoakrom–Manso Nkwanta, recovering firearms and ammunition to avert attacks on commuters.
The IGP, joined by the Police Management Board, praised the officers’ courage in keeping dangerous weapons from criminals. He urged continued high standards, assuring that dedication would be rewarded.
