Another suit filed against COP Yohuno’s appointment as Deputy IGP

Emmanuel Felix Mantey has filed a lawsuit challenging the appointment of COP Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno as the Deputy Inspector-General of Police.

On Wednesday, July 17, 2024, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo appointed Commissioner of Police (COP) Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno as the new Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of Operations.

According to a statement signed by the Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin, the appointment was made pursuant to the advice of the Police Council at its meeting held on Wednesday, July 17, 2024, which acknowledged COP Yohuno’s exceptional credentials and dedication to duty.

In a writ filed at the High Court on Thursday, August 1, the plaintiff is seeking a court order prohibiting COP Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno from acting or purporting to act in the role of Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of Operations.

The applicant is also praying the court to restrain the Attorney General and the Police Council from carrying out any actions in furtherance of the appointment of COP Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno.

Emmanuel Felix Mantey is praying for an “Order of judicial review for the following reliefs: a. An order of prohibition restraining COP Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno from acting or purporting to act in the role of Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of Operations.

“An order of prohibition restraining the Respondents from carrying out any actions in furtherance of the appointment of COP Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno as ‘Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of Operations.”

On July 30, a private legal practitioner, Justice Abdulai, filed a similar suit against the AG and the Police Council over the recent appointment of COP Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno.
