A Communications Team Member of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prince Henry, has called on the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, to formally recognize police officers who intercepted a quantity of cannabis at the Tinkong checkpoint in the Eastern Region.
Prince Henry noted that the officers demonstrated exceptional vigilance and commitment in the discharge of their duties, stressing that their efforts should not go unnoticed. According to him, publicly commending such acts of professionalism would serve as a strong morale booster for personnel within the Ghana Police Service and encourage others to remain dedicated to their responsibilities.
Speaking in an interview with Kwamina Sam Biney on the Bryt Adekyee Mu Nsem Morning Show on Koforidua-based Bryt FM, Prince Henry praised the officers for their proactive approach in combating drug trafficking. He stated that their swift interception of the illicit substance reflects the seriousness with which the police are tackling crime and protecting communities.
He emphasized that the Ghana Police Service is performing commendably in its mandate to maintain law and order, adding that recognizing hardworking officers at the national level would further enhance discipline and motivation within the service.
Prince Henry also applauded the Bono East Regional Police Command for their honesty after officers returned GH¢85,000 discovered on the Techiman–Kumasi Highway to its rightful owner. He described the gesture as a shining example of integrity and professionalism in public service.
He urged the Police Administration to consistently acknowledge and reward officers who distinguish themselves through dedication, transparency, and commitment, noting that such recognition will strengthen public trust and confidence in the security services.
The officers on duty at the Tinkong checkpoint were Inspector Cynthia Anane (No. 49433), Percy Brain Sorku (No. 7686), Sergeant Evelyn Kudoahor (No. 54759), Corporal Bukari Kennedy (No. 54765), and Bogolo Cyril. Source: Nhyiraba Solomon Nartey
