Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Christian Tetteh Yohuno has promoted four police personnel for their exceptional performance in an operation that led to the dismantling of an armed robbery syndicate in the Upper West Region.

The four personnel are General Corporal Mortsi Kwashie Divine, Detective Corporal Salifu Ishmael Aketisiwin, General Lance Corporal Ernest Ameyaw Akumfi and General Lance Corporal John Bekaar Vitus.

The promotions follow an intelligence-led operation by the Upper West Regional Police Command, which resulted in the arrest of six suspects linked to a series of armed robbery incidents in parts of the Wa West District and the Wa Municipality.

The Ghana Police Service said the promotions were in recognition of the officers’ dedication, courage, professionalism and contribution to the fight against crime.

The IGP and the Police Management Board congratulated the four personnel and urged them to maintain professionalism and commitment in the discharge of their duties.

The Service said the recognition also demonstrates its commitment to rewarding personnel who distinguish themselves in protecting lives and property and combating crime.
