President John Dramani Mahama is expected to approve a two-year extension for Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Christian Tetteh Yohuno, following a recommendation from the Police Council, Citi News reports.
The proposed extension will allow IGP Yohuno to continue leading the Ghana Police Service as it advances ongoing reforms and strengthens national security operations. Sources say the move is intended to ensure continuity in security management and sustain the progress achieved under his leadership.
Appointed earlier this year, IGP Yohuno has been credited with boosting police visibility, improving crime response strategies, and promoting community-policing initiatives nationwide. He was originally slated to retire in December 2025.
Although official confirmation is pending, the extension would enable IGP Yohuno to continue overseeing key security programmes, police modernisation, and personnel development across the service.
