IGP Christian Tetteh Yohuno has been instrumental in Police Ladies winning the Women’s league
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Lydia Donkor has announced that civilians in the Police Ladies team will gain automatic slots to join the service.
According to her, the directive is in fulfillment of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Christian Tetteh Yohuno’s promise to give such an opportunity to the players ahead of their 2-0 win over Ampem Darkoa Ladies to clinch the 2024/2025 Women’s Premier League title.
The Director-General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) noted that the police service are highly elated about their feat after chasing the laurel for about 15 years since their participation in the Women’s League.
Speaking in an interview with 3Sports, Donkor assured civilians on the Police Ladies team that they would join the service with immediate effect after going through the necessary training process.
“About 15 years ago, that’s a very long time. And we haven’t come this close. We’ve been to the FA Cup semi-finals last season, and I think the season before. By this time, we have won the southern zone.
“And it means a lot for the police service. So the IGP himself was here for the girls. It’s a big deal. All those who are civilians in the team are automatically going to be police officers. That’s the promise of the IGP. They deserve it,” he said.
The Police Ladies won their first-ever Women’s Premier League title after beating Ampem Darkoa Ladies 2-0 at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium on May 18, 2025.
