The Inspector‑General of Police (IGP), Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has promoted four personnel of the Ghana Police Service in recognition of their outstanding performance during an intelligence‑led operation that dismantled a notorious armed robbery syndicate in the Upper West Region.
The officers promoted to their next ranks are General Corporal Mortsi Kwashie Divine, Detective Corporal Salifu Ishmael Aketisiwin, General Lance Corporal Ernest Ameyaw Akumfi, and General Lance Corporal John Bekaar Vitus.
Their promotions follow a coordinated operation by the Upper West Regional Police Command, which led to the arrest of six suspects linked to a series of violent robberies in Wa West District and Wa Municipality.
The IGP commended the officers for their courage, professionalism, and commitment to the fight against crime, noting that their actions exemplify the Service’s dedication to protecting lives and property. He, together with the Police Management Board, congratulated the promoted personnel and encouraged them to continue demonstrating integrity and diligence in their duties.
The recognition, officials say, is part of ongoing efforts to boost morale within the Service and reinforce the importance of professionalism in tackling armed robbery and other violent crimes across the country.
