A private legal practitioner, Justice Abdulai, has filed a lawsuit against the Attorney General (AG) and the Ghana Police Service (GPS) over the recent appointment of a Deputy Inspector General of Police (IGP).
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo recently appointed Commissioner of Police (COP) Christian Tetteh Yohuno as the Deputy IGP in charge of operations.
In a writ dated July 30, Mr Abdulai indicates that the appointment of COP Yohuno is “unconstitutional, null and void.”
He is also seeking an “order restraining COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno from acting or purporting to act as Deputy Inspector-General of Police in Charge of Operations.
“A further order restraining the Inspector General of Police or any command under him from accepting, relating to and/or issuing instructions or commands to COP Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno in his assumed capacity as Deputy Inspector-General of Police in Charge of Operation.”
