10 officers who ran to court to block police transfers by IGP withdraw case

Ten police officers who had filed a lawsuit to block their transfers by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) have officially discontinued the case.

The officers informed the court of their decision while retaining the right to reapply in the future, if necessary.

In their original suit, the officers alleged that they were instructed by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Mr Christian Yohonu, to defy the transfer order.

This development effectively brings their legal challenge against the Police Administration’s directive to a halt.

Led by Sergeant David Ojeyim, the officers had initially sought a court order to prevent their transfers from their current postings. They argued that the transfer directive was arbitrary, lacked justification, and undermined their professional stability.

The officers further contended that the decision did not align with the standard administrative procedures of the police service.

The group includes notable members such as Sergeant Prince Owusu Fayosey, Sergeant Seidu Essilfie, Sergeant Alex Abah, Corporal John Yao Adzimagbor, Corporal Michael Kwasi Avuyi, Corporal Huudu Muhammed Wumbe, Corporal Kabiru Mohammed, Corporal Hannah Antwi-Boasiako, and IC/Inspector Alexander Odoi.

Collectively, they raised concerns about the transparency and fairness of the transfer process, calling for accountability from the Police Administration.
