The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has promoted 35 police officers in recognition of their exceptional role in apprehending suspects involved in the Adabraka gold robbery in Accra.

The promotions were announced on Thursday, January 15, 2026.

The officers were commended for their professionalism, dedication, and teamwork during operations that led to the arrest of suspects linked to the high-profile daylight robbery at a jewellery shop in Adabraka in November 2024.

Mr Yohuno, alongside members of the Police Management Board (POMAB), congratulated the promoted officers and urged them to view their elevation as a call to greater responsibility, leadership, and accountability in the discharge of their duties. He also encouraged them to continue serving the nation with diligence.

The Ghana Police Service (GPS) reaffirmed its commitment to recognising merit and rewarding excellence as a means of strengthening professionalism, boosting morale, and enhancing effective policing across the country.

The Adabraka gold robbery occurred on Saturday, November 2, 2024, when four masked assailants armed with heavy firearms targeted a man seated in a red Toyota Corolla near the bustling Adabraka Market. Eyewitnesses reported that the robbers fired several warning shots into the air to scatter the crowd before executing the daring heist.
