Inspector-General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has spoken highly of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, during his royal visit to the Police Headquarters in Accra on January 6.
The police boss signalled out his role in mediating conflicts and promoting peace across the country.
“Your exceptional mediation skills, which have restored peace in numerous conflicts across our nation, compel me to describe you as the King Solomon of our time,” Mr Yohuno said.
He attributed the resolution of several long-standing disputes to the Asantehene’s leadership and personal authority.
“Your wisdom, patience and moral authority have brought calm where tension once prevailed and unity when division once threatens our peace,” the IGP added.
During the engagement, it was also announced that the Police Service would take steps to deepen officers’ understanding of Ghana’s social environment.
“I would like to announce that the Police administration will introduce a course on tradition and culture in our training programmes.
“This is to ensure that our officers understand the cultural context within which they operate,” Mr Yohuno stated.
In response, the Asantehene commended the Inspector-General of Police for what he described as exemplary leadership, acknowledging the role of the Police administration in maintaining law, order and public confidence.
