The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has promoted armwrestling champion Grace Minta to the rank of Chief Inspector in a remarkable display of recognition for hard work and dedication.

In a meeting with officers of the Ghana Police Service who actively participate in sports on Wednesday, the IGP praised all the officers for their discipline and commitment to sports but particularly commended Grace Minta for her exceptional performances in promoting the image of the Ghana Police Service.

“I have heard your name severally but not met you in person. You have made the service proud. You have been promoted to Chief Inspector with immediate effect in recognition of your achievements and sporting prowess,” the IGP reiterated.

In conferring this promotion, the IGP highlighted Minta's discipline, resilience, dedication, hard work, and excellence as key attributes that have earned her this recognition.

Grace Minta’s journey to becoming a celebrated armwrestler is nothing short of inspiring. A young lady who was initially recruited for athletics, she later found her calling in armwrestling. Her dedication to the sport has seen her clinch numerous national and international titles, bringing pride and honor to Ghana.

Minta is an undefeated African champion in the women’s 80kg category and the current world champion in the Masters category. She won double gold for Ghana during the last African Games.

Minta's commitment to her role within the Ghana Police Service has been exemplary, showcasing her as a role model for young officers.

Her promotion aims to inspire more officers within the service to strive for excellence in their respective fields, whether in sports, community service, or their professional duties.
