The IGP and his team engaged key stakeholders and reinforced ongoing security efforts
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno and some members of the Police Management Board (POMAB) on July 25-26, 2025, held separate engagements with community leaders at Asawase in the Ashanti Region and Tulaku in the Greater Accra Region to calm tension and enhance local security.
At Asawase, the IGP and his team engaged key stakeholders and reinforced ongoing security efforts.
Upon a review of the current security situation, the IGP directed the establishment of a base for the Formed Police Unit (FPU) in the area to ensure a robust police presence and improve response time.
Also, additional strategic police checkpoints have been mounted at both entry and exit routes to Asawase to further improve security of the locality.
The IGP also used the opportunity to interact with personnel deployed for operational duties and thanked them for their invaluable service to the country.
He assured them that their welfare and wellbeing is paramount to the police administration and urged them to be vigilant, enforce the security arrangements outlined by the Regional Security Council and make Asawase uncomfortable for criminals.
Similarly, at Tulaku in Accra, some POMAB members met with leaders of the Kusasi and Mamprusi communities, as well as the Cattle Dealers Association, to discuss recent concerns and reaffirm the Police Service’s commitment to peaceful coexistence and cooperation.
The Accra Regional Commander as well as Divisional and District Commanders are holding similar engagements with community leaders and youth groups to foster peace, protect lives, and work closely with community leaders to ensure security, law and order.
