The Ghana Police Service has firmly refuted widespread social media rumours alleging the death of the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno. In an official statement released on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, November 30, the Service described the claims as entirely false and without basis.
According to the Police, the IGP is alive, healthy, and actively performing his official duties, contrary to the misinformation circulating online.
Police Statement on False Claims
“The attention of the Ghana Police Service has been drawn to some speculation that the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno is deceased,” the statement said.
“We wish to categorically state that these reports are false. The IGP is alive and well and going about his duties as expected. We urge our officers, family members, loved ones, and the general public to disregard these reports.”
The Service further cautioned the public to refrain from sharing false information, describing the rumour as malicious, reckless, and damaging.
Warning to Perpetrators
The Police emphasized that spreading disinformation is an offense under Ghanaian law. Individuals found responsible for creating or circulating such fabricated claims will face strict legal consequences.
The statement reinforces the Service’s ongoing commitment to combating misinformation and maintaining public trust in national security institutions.
