The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has promoted 25 police personnel in recognition of their exceptional performance and contribution to the fight against crime.
The Ghana Police Service announced the promotions in a Facebook post on Monday, August 10, 2026, noting that the personnel played key roles in separate operations across the Bono East, Tema and Western Central Police Regions.
The officers were recognised for their involvement in the arrest of six suspects linked to a robbery in which GH¢300,000 was allegedly stolen from a victim along the Portor-Kawempe stretch of the Kintampo-Buipe Highway on July 19, 2026.
They were also commended for the arrest of four suspected members of a robbery syndicate linked to a violent robbery at Wassa Akropong in the Tarkwa area.
Other personnel were recognised for their role in the recent interception of 866 parcels of suspected cocaine at the Tema Harbour.
Among those promoted are Chief Inspectors Bede Nwinbomeh and Joe Tetteh; General Sergeants Elijah Ndaga Yinimi and Kaifan Sulemanna; and General Corporals Owusu Ansah Evans and Tansang Jonathan.
General Lance Corporals Osei Christopher Bonny, Kyei Francis, Ofori Francis, Anim Dominic and Asante Isaac were also promoted, alongside General Constables Adam Bakari Alhassan and Bakai Mark.
The promoted detective personnel include Detective Chief Inspector Frank Dzah, Detective Inspectors Edem Ametowoga, Abroso and Vincent Dankwah, as well as Detective Sergeants Salifu Yakubu and Samuel Mordzifa.
Six other personnel were also promoted to their next ranks for their contributions to the fight against crime.
As part of the recognition, Chief Inspectors Bede Nwinbomeh and Joe Tetteh have been granted automatic entry to the Police Academy.
The Police Service said the promotions were based on the personnel’s dedication, professionalism, courage and commitment to their duties.
The IGP and members of the Police Management Board (POMAB) congratulated the promoted officers and urged them to maintain the same level of professionalism and commitment.
Mr Yohuno further assured personnel of the administration’s commitment to recognising and rewarding hard work within the Ghana Police Service.
