The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has promoted seven officers of the Tema Regional Police Command for “exceptional operational performance” during a recent anti-robbery operation in Tema.
The promotions, announced on Monday, April 14, 2026, recognize the officers’ swift response to an armed robbery attack on a mobile money vendor at Tema Community 5. Police say the operation led to two robbery suspects being shot, and the recovery of a firearm, ammunition, and other exhibits.
Officers Elevated
The seven officers elevated to their next ranks are:
- Chief Inspector Enoch Nartey Nuer
- Inspector Gershon Dekpey
- Inspector Prince Asante
- Sergeant Lukman Mohammed (No. 45881)
- Sergeant Eugene Kuudouru (No. 49900)
- Corporal Jerome Akator (No. 54157)
- Lance Corporal Jonathan Sewurah (No. 59882)
Commendation From Police Hierarchy
IGP Yohuno, together with members of the Police Management Board (POMAB), congratulated the officers and commended their courage, discipline, and commitment to duty.
He urged the newly promoted personnel to see the elevation as a call to higher responsibility. “This should inspire all officers to continue working with dedication and professionalism in the service of the nation,” the IGP said.
The Ghana Police Service has in recent months intensified anti-robbery patrols in commercial districts, with mobile money vendors often targeted by criminals. Monday’s promotions signal the Service’s intent to reward operational bravery and boost morale among frontline officers.
