The United Nations has honoured Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Alison Raji Atuluk of the Ghana Police Service for her exceptional service and leadership in peacekeeping mission.
Currently serving with the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilisation Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA), ASP Atuluk has been honoured with a Certificate of Recognition by the United Nations.
ASP Atuluk makes history as the first female officer to command a UN parade in the Central African Republic (CAR), a role she executed with remarkable discipline, precision, and professionalism.
In a statement, the Ghana Police Service acknowledged that her commitment to duty and her contribution to peacekeeping have earned her admiration from both UN authorities and the Inspector-General of Police of CAR, who presented the award during a ceremonial parade. 

Beyond her operational role, ASP Atuluk continues to mentor female police officers in CAR, sharing her expertise and helping strengthen local law enforcement capacity.

Upon receiving the honour, she said, “Service to humanity knows no borders. I am proud to represent Ghana and contribute to peace in CAR while empowering my fellow women in uniform.”

Her recognition underscores Ghana’s long-standing contribution to international peacekeeping and highlights the impact of Ghanaian women in global security efforts.

WO1 Habib, who served with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) under Ghana Battalion 89 (GHANBATT 89), was injured in a vehicular accident while on official duty.

 

The presentation took place on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, during the CDS’s familiarisation visit to the 3 Garrison in Sunyani. The visit forms part of his nationwide tour to interact with troops, assess operational readiness, and address welfare concerns.

The compensation, provided by the United Nations, aligns with international protocols aimed at safeguarding the welfare and financial security of personnel who suffer injury, illness, or death in the line of duty.

As part of his regional engagements, Lieutenant General Agyapong also paid a courtesy call on the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi. The visit highlighted the strong ties between the Ghana Armed Forces and traditional authorities in maintaining peace and security.
