A private legal practitioner has taken on the Attorney General (AG) and the Ghana Police Service (GPS) over the appointment of a Deputy Inspector General of Police (IGP).
Justice Abdulai contends that the appointment of COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno is unconstitutional.
He made this argument in a writ dated July 30, 2024.
On July 17, President Akufo-Addo appointed Commissioner of Police (COP) Christian Tetteh Yohuno as the Deputy IGP in charge of operations.
But the lawyer is praying the court to restrain COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno “from acting or purporting to act as Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of operations."
“A further order restraining the Inspector General of Police or any command under him from accepting, relating to and/or issuing instructions or commands to COP Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno in his assumed capacity as Deputy Inspector-General of Police in Charge of Operation.”
The Jubilee House said the appointment followed the advice of the Police Council during its meeting today, where COP Yohuno's exceptional credentials and dedication to duty were acknowledged.
The statement described the Commissioner as a distinguished law enforcement officer with a career spanning over three decades who has held key positions within the Service.
