We will track and arrest all criminals, IGP Yohuno assures

The Ghana Police Service has issued a firm warning to criminals across the country, urging them to lay down their arms as the Service intensifies operations to combat crime and strengthen public safety.

Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, reaffirmed the commitment of the Police Service to protect citizens and pursue individuals engaged in criminal activities.

He made the remarks on Tuesday, May 19, when the Mobile Money Advocacy Group Ghana presented him with a plaque and citation in recognition of his efforts in fighting crime, particularly offences targeting mobile money agents and operators.

Addressing the gathering, the IGP stressed that advancements in modern policing techniques mean criminals will find it increasingly difficult to evade arrest.

“We want to sound a strong warning to the criminals wherever they are, that we will not give up in our endeavor to make sure that we protect Ghanaians in general. And so, for that matter, they should lay down their arms, they should stop committing crime, because whatever they do and wherever they hide in this our modern day of policing, they can run, but they cannot hide,” he said.

Mr Yohuno reiterated the Police Service’s determination to clamp down on criminal activity and maintain law and order across the country.

President of the Mobile Money Advocacy Group Ghana, Edward Ofori-Agyemang, commended the IGP for his leadership and commitment in the fight against crime. He also encouraged the Police Service to sustain operations against criminals, particularly those targeting mobile money vendors and agents, to enhance safety within the sector.
