The Ghana Police Service has elevated four officers from the Western Central Regional Police Command in acknowledgment of their hard work, professionalism, and commitment to their responsibilities.
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 — has been promoted to the ranks of Inspector, Sergeant, and Lance Corporal, respectively.
Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, together with the Police Management Board (POMAB), extended their congratulations to the officers, highlighting that these promotions serve as an encouragement for other personnel and reinforce the Service’s dedication to recognizing outstanding performance.
This commendation follows the officer’s involvement in the apprehension of three armed suspects — Hakeem Imoro, Imoro Tahiru, and Nurideen Wahab — at the Bawdie Barrier near Wassa Akropong on April 30, 2025, just one day after the tragic murder of five individuals at Asiyaw near Nsawam.
The suspects, who were traveling on a Grand Bird Bus (AS 4431 22), were intercepted and searched by the officers, resulting in the recovery of a submachine gun and 21 rounds of ammunition from Hakeem Imoro. During questioning, Imoro connected the weapon to his superior, Samuel Atsu Forson, also known as Alanyo, who had already been detained in relation to the Asiyaw murders.
Subsequent investigations have confirmed that the suspects were attempting to escape the jurisdiction and are directly linked to the Asiyaw killings.
The Police Service commended the officers for their alertness and reiterated its commitment to recognizing excellence in law enforcement.
