President John Dramani Mahama has approved a two-year contract extension for Inspector-General of Police (IGP) COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno, allowing him to continue leading the Ghana Police Service beyond his statutory retirement date.
The decision was announced on 25 November 2025, via an official letter signed by Callistus Mahama, Secretary to the President. The extension, which takes effect on 28 December 2025, follows a recommendation by the Police Council.
In the letter, President Mahama stressed that IGP Yohuno’s continued leadership is vital at this “crucial period,” particularly as the Police Service implements major reforms, seeks to boost operational efficiency, and maintains institutional stability.
IGP Christian Tetteh Yohuno first rose to the top post in March 2025, when he was appointed to replace Dr. George Akuffo Dampare and sworn in at the Jubilee House. Since then, he has been tasked with steering the Police Service through modernization, tackling crime, and building public trust.
Yohuno has been asked to confirm his acceptance of the re-engagement in writing within three days of receiving the communication.
