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

The officers, General Sergeant (G/Sgt) Fetus Gameli Kukuia, General Corporal (G/Cpl) Christian Asare, G/Cpl Nicholas Kingsley Amoah, and General Constable (G/Const.) Adam Yakubu, have been promoted to the ranks of Inspector, Sergeant, and Lance

The Inspector-General of Police, Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno, and members of the Police Management Board (POMAB) commended the officers and noted that their promotion will serve as motivation and encouragement to other personnel of the Service. IGP highlighted the fact that dedication to duty and exceptional performance will be both acknowledged and rewarded.
