The Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has commended the Inspector General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno for exemplary leadership.
He gave the commendation when he paid a visit to the Police Headquarters in Accra on January 6.
The Asantehene praised the IGP for the initiative to invite him to the headquarters.
He described the visit not only as ceremonial, but an opportunity to foster closer collaboration between the security agency and traditional authorities.
On a lighter note, the King of Ashanti remarked, “I appreciate the warm welcome accorded me and my entourage. I admire the women parade in their uniforms. Mr IGP please prepare a Police uniform for me so that next time when I am coming, I will be in my Police dress.
On his part, the IGP Yohuno welcomed Asantehene and commended him for his role in ensuring peace in the Dagbon and Bawku conflicts.
He pledged that the Police Service will incorporate a course on tradition and culture in their training curricula going forward.
“I would like to announce that the Police administration will introduce a course on tradition and culture in our training programmes. This is to ensure that our officers understand the cultural context within which they operate,” he stated.
Present at the ceremony are members of the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs, the Deputy Minister of the Interior, Okletey Tei Larbi and other government officials.
