In a major shake-up within Ghana’s security sector, President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Commissioner of Police (COP) Christian Tetteh Yohonu as the new Inspector General of Police (IGP).
This appointment comes as part of a strategic restructuring of the Ghana Police Service, following the immediate removal of Dr. George Akuffo Dampare from his position.
A New Era for Ghana’s Police Force
The decision to install COP Yohonu as the nation’s top law enforcement officer signals a new direction for Ghana’s security leadership. With an extensive background in policing, Yohonu’s appointment is expected to bring a renewed focus on crime-fighting strategies, public safety, and law enforcement reforms.
The Presidency has yet to disclose the reasons behind Dr. Dampare’s sudden removal, but sources suggest that the government is keen on enhancing national security measures and addressing pressing concerns within the police administration.
What to Expect Under the New IGP?
✔ Enhanced Security Operations – COP Yohonu is expected to strengthen crime prevention strategies across the country.
✔ Police Reforms – His leadership could introduce institutional changes aimed at improving law enforcement efficiency.
✔ Strengthened Public Trust – With his experience, the new IGP may focus on bridging the gap between the police and civilians, ensuring accountability and professionalism within the force.
As Ghana ushers in this new phase of police leadership, all eyes will be on COP Christian Tetteh Yohonu to see how he tackles the challenges ahead and strengthens national security under President Mahama’s administration
