Twenty-five police officers have been promoted for their roles in high-profile arrests and drug seizures across Ghana, the Inspector General of Police has announced.
The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno, granted the promotions following successful operations in the Bono East, Tema, and Western Central Police Regions.
The recognised officers contributed to three major operations, including the arrest of six suspects involved in a robbery on 19 July 2026, during which GH¢300,000 was stolen along the Portor to Kawempe stretch of the Kintampo-Buipe Highway.
In a second operation, officers arrested four suspected members of a robbery syndicate linked to a violent robbery at Wassa Akropong in the Tarkwa area. Personnel were also rewarded for the recent interception of 866 parcels of suspected cocaine at Tema Harbour.
Among those promoted are Chief Inspectors Bede Nwinbomeh and Joe Tetteh, General Sergeants Elijah Ndaga Yinimi and Kaifan Sulemanna, General Corporals Owusu Ansah Evans and Tansang Jonathan, and General Lance Corporals Osei Christopher Bonny, Kyei Francis, Ofori Francis, Anim Dominic and Asante Isaac.
The list also includes General Constables Adam Bakari Alhassan and Bakai Mark, Detective Chief Inspector Frank Dzah, Detective Inspectors Edem Ametowoga, Abroso and Vincent Dankwah, alongside Detective Sergeants Salifu Yakubu and Samuel Mordzifa. A further six personnel were elevated to their next ranks for their contribution to fighting crime.
Chief Inspectors Bede Nwinbomeh and Joe Tetteh have additionally been granted automatic entry to the Police Academy.
The promotions were granted in recognition of the officers’ dedication, professionalism, courage, and commitment to public safety.
Congratulating the officers, the IGP and members of the Police Management Board (POMAB) encouraged them to maintain high standards of professionalism in the discharge of their duties.
Mr Yohuno assured personnel that the police administration remains committed to acknowledging and rewarding hard work across the service.
