The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has promoted seven officers of the Ghana Police Service in recognition of their exceptional bravery during a recent anti-robbery operation in Tema.
The officers, all from the Tema Regional Police Command, received elevated ranks for their swift and courageous response to an armed robbery attack on a mobile money (MoMo) vendor at Tema Community 5.
Their actions led to the shooting of two suspected robbers, as well as the retrieval of a firearm, ammunition, and other key exhibits.
The promoted officers are: Chief Inspector Enoch Nartey Nuer, Inspector Gershon Dekpey, Inspector Prince Asante, Sergeant Lukman Mohammed, Sergeant Eugene Kuudouru, Corporal Jerome Akator, and Lance Corporal Jonathan Sewurah.
The promotions were officially conferred on April 14, 2026.
The IGP, together with members of the Police Management Board, commended the officers for what he described as exemplary courage, discipline, and dedication to duty.
IGP Yohuno urged the promoted officers to view their new ranks as a call to uphold even higher standards of professionalism in the line of duty.
He also encouraged all personnel across the service to remain committed to protecting lives and property, stressing that outstanding performance would continue to be recognised and rewarded.
The commendation comes amid heightened police operations in parts of Tema, driven by growing concerns over armed robbery incidents, particularly those targeting mobile money vendors.
The Ghana Police Service has reiterated its commitment to strengthening security through proactive policing and rapid response interventions, while assuring the public of sustained efforts to combat crime.
