The Inspector-General of Police, Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has promoted 35 police officers in recognition of their roles in the arrest of suspects linked to the Adabraka gold robbery in Accra.
The promotions were conferred on 15 January 2026 on officers who demonstrated what police described as exceptional professionalism, dedication and teamwork during operations that led to the arrest of suspects connected to the high-profile daylight robbery at a jewellery shop in Adabraka in November 2024.
The incident, which drew widespread public attention, prompted intensive investigations by the Ghana Police Service, culminating in the arrest of individuals believed to be responsible for the crime.
Mr Yohuno, together with members of the Police Management Board, congratulated the promoted officers and urged them to see the elevation not merely as a reward, but as a call to greater responsibility. He charged them to uphold high standards of leadership, discipline and accountability in the discharge of their duties.
The Inspector-General also encouraged the officers to continue working diligently to protect lives and property and to maintain public confidence in the police service.
In a statement, the Ghana Police Service reiterated its commitment to recognising merit and rewarding excellence, noting that such initiatives are aimed at strengthening professionalism, boosting morale and enhancing effective policing across the country.
