The Ghana Police Service has promoted four officers from 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 elevated to the ranks of Inspector, Sergeant, and Lance Corporal respectively.
Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, along with the Police Management Board (POMAB), congratulated the officers, emphasizing that the promotions serve as motivation for other personnel and reinforce the Service’s commitment to rewarding exceptional performance.
The commendation follows the officers’ role in the arrest of three armed suspects — Hakeem Imoro, Imoro Tahiru, and Nurideen Wahab — at the Bawdie Barrier near Wassa Akropong on April 30, 2025, a day after the murder of five individuals at Asiyaw near Nsawam.
The suspects, travelling on a Grand Bird Bus (AS 4431 22), were intercepted and searched by the officers, leading to the recovery of a submachine gun and 21 rounds of ammunition from Hakeem Imoro.
Upon interrogation, Imoro linked the weapon to his boss, Samuel Atsu Forson alias Alanyo, who had already been arrested in connection with the Asiyaw murders.
Investigations have since confirmed the suspects were attempting to flee the jurisdiction and are directly connected to the Asiyaw killings.
The Police Service lauded the officers for their vigilance and reaffirmed its commitment to rewarding excellence in law enforcement.
