The Ghana Police Service has promoted four officers of the Western Central Regional Police Command in recognition of their diligence, professionalism, and dedication to duty.
The officers—No. 47459 G/Sgt. Fetus Gameli Kukuia, No. 52192 G/Cpl. Christian Asare, No. 52441 G/Cpl. Nicholas Kingsley Amoah, and No. 59947 G/Const. Adam Yakubu—have been promoted to the ranks of Inspector, Sergeant, and Lance Corporal, respectively.
The Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, together with members of the Police Management Board (POMAB), commended the officers. He noted that the promotion serves as both recognition of their efforts and motivation for other personnel within the Service. The IGP emphasized that commitment and exceptional performance will continue to be acknowledged and rewarded.
It will be recalled that on 30th April 2025 just a day after the murder of five individuals at Asiyaw near Nsawam officers from the Western Central Regional Police Command arrested three suspects: Hakeem Imoro, Imoro Tahiru, and Nurideen Wahab. The arrests were made at the Bawdie Barrier near Wassa Akropong in the Western Region, for unlawful possession of arms and ammunition.
The suspects were travelling on board a Grand Bird bus with registration number AS 4431-22 en route to Wassa Akropong, when the officers intercepted and searched the vehicle. The operation led to the recovery of a submachine gun (SMG) and 21 rounds of ammunition from suspect Hakeem Imoro.
During interrogation, Hakeem Imoro revealed that the firearm had been given to him by his boss, identified as Samuel Atsu Forson alias “Alanyo,” who was already in custody in connection with the Asiyaw murders.
Further investigations confirmed that the three suspects were directly linked to the Asiyaw case and were attempting to flee the jurisdiction at the time of their arrest by the vigilant officers.
The Ghana Police Service has lauded the officers for their exceptional work and reaffirmed its commitment to recognizing excellence and dedication in the ongoing fight against crime.
