ACP Dr Benjamin Agordzo has reportedly been promoted to a DCOP
ACP Dr Benjamin Agordzo (Retired), who was acquitted after he was charged with high treason over an alleged plot to overthrow the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government, has reportedly been reinstated to the Ghana Police Service.
According to Accra-based Class 91.3 FM, Dr Agordzo was reinstated by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno.
A post shared on X by the media house on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, indicated that IGP Tetteh Yohuno did not only recall Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Agordzo, but also promoted him to the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP).
“IGP Christian Tetteh Yohuno Recalls and Promotes ACP Benjamin Agordzo to DCOP,” part of the post the media house shared read.
Corroborating this, a report by graphic.com.gh also named ACP Agordzo as one of the police officers who had been promoted to the DCOP rank.
Those promoted to DCOP are God-Act Dodzi Hlordzi; Wisdom Korli; Joseph Owusu Ansah; Joshua Copson; Obed Dzikunu; Phyllis Ama Tebuah Osei; William Wowolo; William Kofi Donkor; Wisdom Lavoe; Francis Christopher Abaka; and Benjamin K Agordzo (Rtd).
ACP Agordzo’s promotion comes after the National Security Council Secretariat appointed him its Head of Human Resources.
The document on his appointment, which was communicated in a memo dated January 21, 2025, highlighted ACP Agordzo’s extensive experience in human resource management and strategic leadership, describing him as a valuable addition to the secretariat’s efforts to enhance its staff strategy.
Dr Benjamin Agordzo was reportedly demoted after he disobeyed the orders of a senior police officer.
He was among the 10 police officers and military men who were charged with conspiracy to commit high treason and committing high treason by the Akufo-Addo government.
However, a three-member panel of judges of an Accra High Court discharged and acquitted Dr Agordzo, Colonel Samuel Kodzo Gameli, and one other junior military officer, Corporal Seidu Abubakar, in 2024.
