The Ghana Police Service has promoted four officers of the Western Central Regional Police Command for demonstrating diligence, professionalism, and dedication in the performance of their duties.

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, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, along with members of the Police Management Board (POMAB), commended the officers and noted that their promotion would serve as motivation and encouragement to other personnel of the Service.

The IGP emphasised that dedication to duty and exceptional performance will always be recognized and rewarded.

It will be recalled that on April 30, 2025, just a day after the murder of five individuals at Asiyaw near Nsawam, the Western Central Regional Police Command arrested three suspects, Hakeem Imoro, Imoro Tahiru, and Nurideen Wahab, for unlawful possession of arms and ammunition at Bawdie Barrier near Wassa Akropong in the Western Region.

The suspects were traveling aboard a Grand Bird Bus with registration number AS 4431-22 en route to Wassa Akropong when the officers intercepted and searched the vehicle.

The search led to the recovery of a submachine gun (SMG) and twenty-one rounds of ammunition from suspect Hakeem Imoro.

Upon interrogation, Hakeem Imoro revealed that the firearm had been given to him by his boss, known as Forson, later identified as Samuel Atsu Forson, alias Alanyo, who was already in custody in connection with the Asiyaw murder.

Further investigations confirmed that the three suspects arrested at Bawdie Barrier were directly linked to the Asiyaw murder case and were attempting to flee the jurisdiction when they were apprehended by the vigilant officers of the Western Central Regional Command.
