4 police officers promoted for high standard of professionalism

The Ghana Police Service has promoted four officers from the Western Central Regional Police Command in recognition of their exceptional diligence, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to duty.

The promoted officers are No. 47459 G/Sgt. Fetus Gameli Kukuia, now promoted to the rank of Inspector, No. 52192 G/Cpl. Christian Asare, promoted to Sergeant, No. 52441 G/Cpl. Nicholas Kingsley Amoah, promoted to Sergeant, and No. 59947 G/Const. Adam Yakubu, promoted to Lance Corporal.

The promotions were announced following the officers’ key role in a high-profile arrest on April 30, 2025, which led to a breakthrough in a murder case that had gripped the nation. Just a day after the killing of five individuals at Asiyaw near Nsawam, the officers intercepted and arrested three suspects—Hakeem Imoro, Imoro Tahiru, and Nurideen Wahab—at Bawdie Barrier, near Wassa Akropong, for unlawful possession of arms and ammunition.

The suspects, who were traveling on a Grand Bird Bus with registration number AS 4431 22, were found in possession of a submachine gun and twenty-one rounds of ammunition. Through diligent interrogation, it was revealed that the weapon had been provided by Samuel Atsu Forson alias “Alanyo”, a suspect already in custody in connection with the Asiyaw murders.

Further investigations confirmed the suspects’ direct involvement in the Asiyaw killings and their intent to evade justice by fleeing the region. The swift and professional actions of the four officers not only prevented their escape but also provided critical leads that strengthened the ongoing investigation.

Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, and members of the Police Management Board (POMAB) commended the officers for their exemplary conduct. The IGP stated that their promotion is a testament to the Ghana Police Service’s resolve to recognize and reward excellence in law enforcement.

“This is a clear message to all personnel that hard work, vigilance, and integrity will not go unnoticed. We will continue to celebrate and reward officers who go above and beyond the call of duty,” the IGP remarked.

The Ghana Police Service reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining high standards of professionalism and dedication in the fight against crime, while encouraging officers across the country to emulate the conduct of their promoted colleagues.
