Fight Emerging Threats with Modern Tactics – Mahama to IGP Yohuno
President calls for intelligence-driven policing to combat rising crime, cyber threats, and organized crime
President John Dramani Mahama has charged newly appointed Inspector General of Police (IGP) Christian Tetteh Yohuno with taking bold steps to address Ghana’s evolving security landscape.
Speaking at Yohuno’s swearing-in on Friday, March 14, President Mahama emphasized the need to blend traditional policing with modern strategies to combat rising crime.
“Our nation is witnessing increasing incidents of violence, cybercrime, fraud, and organized crime. These challenges require advanced investigative techniques and intelligence-driven policing,” he stated.
The President also highlighted global security concerns, including terrorism and transnational crime networks, stressing the importance of proactive law enforcement.
IGP Yohuno’s appointment follows the removal of Dr. George Akuffo Dampare on Thursday, March 13, as part of efforts to reform police leadership and strengthen national security.
