President John Dramani Mahama has appointed COP Christian Tetteh Yohunu as the new Inspector General of Police.
COP Yohunu replaces Dr. George Akuffo-Dampare.
In a press statement signed by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the swearing-in ceremony is scheduled for Friday, March 14.
While no official reason has been given for Dr. Akuffo-Dampare’s dismissal, sources suggest the move is part of a broader restructuring effort within the Ghana Police Service.
Dr. Akuffo-Dampare, who was appointed IGP in 2021, is widely known for spearheading key policing reforms, including community engagement initiatives and internal discipline measures within the service.
