Commissioner of Police (COP) Christian Tetteh Yohunu is set to be officially sworn in as Ghana’s new Inspector General of Police (IGP) at a ceremony scheduled for today at 11 a.m., presided over by President John Dramani Mahama.

Minister for Government Communications and Spokesperson, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, confirmed the transition in a phone interview with the media on Thursday, stating that all arrangements are in place.

"He will be sworn in tomorrow at 11 a.m.," Felix Kwakye Ofosu said in an interview on March 13, 2024. The ceremony is set for today, March 14, 2024.

COP Yohunu’s appointment follows the replacement of former IGP Dr. George Akuffo Dampare by President Mahama after he served in the role since 2021.

During his tenure, Dampare implemented several reforms aimed at enhancing public trust and improving security operations across the country.

As the incoming IGP, Yohunu is expected to build on these efforts by modernizing the Ghana Police Service, strengthening law enforcement, and addressing emerging security challenges.

With his extensive experience in the service, he is seen as a key figure in maintaining law and order.
