In a statement signed by the group’s Convener, Yakubu Ibrahim and Secretary, Moses Tettey Dometey, the youth expressed profound gratitude to the President for what they called “a thoughtful and strategic decision that ensures continuity in effective policing.”
They noted that IGP Yohuno’s career has been marked by steady advancement through key leadership roles, including his time as Divisional Commander for Accra Central, Accra Regional Operations Commander, Deputy Accra Regional Commander and Director-General of the Motor Traffic and Transport Directorate (MTTD), roles in which he consistently demonstrated competence, integrity and innovation.
