A former Police officer who is currently the MP for Wa West, Peter Toobu has said that the appointment of Commissioner of Police (COP) Christian Tetteh Yohuno as Deputy Inspector-General of Police, in charge of operations is in furtherance of election security.
According to him, President Akufo-Addo per the appointment may be providing the current IGP with experienced hands to support him to ensure peaceful elections on December 7.
“Probably, the President is looking at the fact that we are in an election year, and he is seeking to empower people to support the IGP to deliver,” Mr toobu said on 3 FM’S Hot Edition on July 17.
He added that Mr Yohuno is more than qualified to occupy that position,
“What Akufo-Addo has done is to put an icing on the cake. He deserves it,” Mr Toobu stressed.
His opinion is at variance with that of a Security Expert, Richard Kumadoe. Mr Kumadoe said President Akufo-Addo’s appointment of Mr. Tetteh Yohuno as the new Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of Operations may be part of the conspiracy to remove the IGP Dr George Akuffo Dampare.
The appointment of COP Yohunu was announced in a press statement released by the Director of Communications at the Presidency Mr Eugene Arhin on Wednesday, July 17.
“This appointment is pursuant to the advice of the Police Council at its meeting held today, Wednesday, 17th July 2024, during which COP Yohuno’s exceptional credentials and dedication to duty were acknowledged,” the statement said.
It added that COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno is a distinguished law enforcement officer, with a career spanning over three decades, and has held various key positions within the Ghana Police Service.
“President Akufo-Addo extends his heartfelt congratulations to COP Christian Tetteh
Yohuno on his well-deserved appointment and wishes him the very best in the discharge of his duties,” the statement said.
Commenting on this development on the same show Mr Kumadoe said, “This feeds into the conspiracy theory that they are preparing the grounds for the removal of IGP Dampare.”
