Appointment of COP Yohuno: You don’t tamper with any security architecture six months to elections – Adam Bonaa

Security analyst, Adam Bonaa has questioned President Akufo-Addo’s appointment of COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno as the Deputy Inspector General of Police less than six months before the 2024 general election.

Speaking to Joy News after the appointment was made, the Security Analyst argued that it is not proper to tamper with any security architecture six months before elections.

Dr. Adam Bonaa noted that this is a convention all over the world.

"The convention all over the world, you don't tamper with any security architecture usually six months to elections. Trump attempted to do that before the election and his advisors asked him not to do it, and he stopped,” Dr. Adam Bonaa shared.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Wednesday appointed COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno as the Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of operations.

The appointment was made pursuant to the advice of the Police Council at its meeting held on Wednesday.

“COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno is a distinguished law enforcement officer, with a career spanning over three decades, and has held various key positions within the Ghana Police Service.

“President Akufo-Addo extends his heartfelt congratulations to COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno on his well-deserved appointment, and wishes him the very best in the discharge of his duties,” a press release from the Presidency confirming the appointment said.
