The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has decorated Inspector Hance Atubra with the rank of Chief Inspector in recognition of his bravery and exceptional service during a fire outbreak at Aboso in the Western Region.
Inspector Atubra, who is stationed at the Tarkwa Divisional Headquarters, was invited to the National Police Headquarters in Accra on Monday, August 31, 2026, where the IGP personally decorated him with his new rank.
His promotion followed his courageous intervention during the fire outbreak on August 26, 2026, when he risked his life to help save lives and protect property.
The timely intervention and determination of Inspector Atubra during the emergency have been hailed as an outstanding demonstration of courage, professionalism and commitment to duty.
Decorating him, the IGP commended Inspector Atubra for his bravery, quick response and dedication to protecting lives and property.
Mr. Yohuno said the officer’s conduct exemplified the values of professionalism, courage and selfless service expected of members of the Ghana Police Service.
He noted that such acts of bravery served as an inspiration to other police officers and reinforced public confidence in the Police Service’s commitment to protecting lives and property.
The recognition of Inspector Atubra also underscores the importance of prompt and decisive action by security personnel during emergencies, particularly situations that pose imminent threats to human life.
His promotion and decoration therefore stand as a recognition not only of his individual courage, but also of the dedication of police officers who continue to serve communities under challenging circumstances.
