The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohonu, has deployed hundreds of police personnel to the Ashanti Region as part of a special, classified security operation aimed at enhancing public safety and maintaining law and order.
The large-scale deployment forms part of the Ghana Police Service’s broader strategy to strengthen security presence across key areas of the region and reinforce peace and stability.
Speaking on behalf of the IGP, the Director-General, Technical, COP Dr. Sayibu Pabi Gariba, said the special operation would be conducted in close collaboration with the Ghana Armed Forces to ensure maximum effectiveness and coordination.
Dr. Gariba urged the deployed officers to demonstrate professionalism, teamwork, and discipline, stressing that operational integrity and coordination were critical to the success of the mission.
“We are going to undertake a special operation in the region. The locations will be disclosed as we go,” Dr. Gariba said. “All that the IGP wants you to do is to be professional, firm, robust, and ensure you execute your task as briefed. Move in groups — there shouldn’t be any isolation.”
He also cautioned personnel against sharing any operational information or digital content from the field, describing the mission as highly classified.
“This operation is very classified, so no personnel is supposed to be seen taking videos, pictures, or sending WhatsApp messages about what is going on. No one is expected to place a phone call disclosing locations or details of the operation,” he warned.
The Ghana Police Service has, in recent months, intensified security operations nationwide, with a focus on crime prevention, anti-terrorism readiness, and rapid response capability in collaboration with other national security agencies.
