The Ghana Police Service has promoted four officers from the Western Central Regional Police Command in recognition of their exceptional diligence, professionalism, and dedication to duty.
The promoted officers are:
• No. 47459 G/Sgt. Fetus Gameli Kukuia – promoted to Inspector
• No. 52192 G/Cpl. Christian Asare – promoted to Sergeant
• No. 52441 G/Cpl. Nicholas Kingsley Amoah – promoted to Sergeant
• No. 59947 G/Const. Adam Yakubu – promoted to Lance Corporal
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, along with members of the Police Management Board (POMAB), commended the officers for their bravery and professionalism. The IGP emphasized that the Ghana Police Service remains committed to recognizing and rewarding outstanding performance among its personnel.
The promotions come in the wake of a swift and critical police operation carried out on April 30, 2025, just a day after the gruesome murder of five individuals at Asiyaw near Nsawam.
Acting on intelligence, the officers intercepted a Grand Bird Bus with registration number AS 4431 22 at Bawdie Barrier near Wassa Akropong. A search of the vehicle led to the arrest of three suspects: Hakeem Imoro, Imoro Tahiru, and Nurideen Wahab, for unlawful possession of a submachine gun (SMG) and 21 rounds of ammunition.
Further interrogation revealed that the firearm was allegedly provided by Samuel Atsu Forson, alias Alanyo, who was already in police custody in connection with the Asiyaw murders. Investigations confirmed that the three suspects were attempting to flee the area and were directly linked to the crime.
The Ghana Police Service lauded the officers for their vigilance and effective policing, noting that their dedication not only led to the arrest of key suspects but also helped prevent a possible escape from justice.
The Service reiterated its commitment to promoting merit-based recognition and strengthening public trust through professionalism and excellence.
