Seven police officers promoted for bravery in Tema MoMo robbery response
The Inspector-General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has promoted seven officers of the Ghana Police Service in recognition of their role in a recent anti-robbery operation in Tema.
The officers, drawn from the Tema Regional Police Command, were elevated to higher ranks following their response to a robbery attack on a mobile money vendor at Tema Community 5, which resulted in the shooting of two suspected robbers and the retrieval of a firearm, ammunition and other exhibits.
Those promoted include Chief Inspector Enoch Nartey Nuer, Inspector Gershon Dekpey, Inspector Prince Asante, Sergeant Lukman Mohammed, Sergeant Eugene Kuudouru, Corporal Jerome Akator and Lance Corporal Jonathan Sewurah.
The promotions were conferred on April 14, 2026, with the IGP, alongside members of the Police Management Board, commending the officers for what he described as courage, discipline and dedication to duty.
Mr Yohuno urged the officers to see their elevation as a responsibility to uphold higher standards of professionalism in the discharge of their duties.
He also encouraged personnel across the service to remain committed to protecting lives and property, stressing that exemplary performance would continue to be recognised.
The commendation follows heightened police operations in parts of Tema in response to rising concerns over armed robbery incidents, particularly those targeting mobile money vendors.
The Police Service has reiterated its commitment to strengthening security through proactive policing and rapid response interventions, while assuring the public of continued efforts to combat crime.
