The youth of Osudoku in the Shai-Osudoku District of the Greater Accra Region has strongly condemned recent social media allegations about COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno, the Deputy Inspector General of Police (IGP).

Describing the accusations as “untrue, unsubstantiated, and malicious,” the youth claim these reports are part of a calculated effort to tarnish Mr. Yohuno’s reputation and undermine his contributions to national security.

In a statement, the Osudoku Youth referenced a lawsuit involving Sergeant David Ojeyim, who allegedly implicated Mr. Yohuno in his refusal to obey a police directive.

However, the youth clarified that court documents reveal a different narrative.

According to them, Inspector General of Police George Akuffo Dampare, not Mr. Yohuno, interfered with official duties by reassigning officers under Mr. Yohuno’s command without proper justification.

“We encourage all well-meaning Ghanaians to read the court affidavit themselves to uncover the truth,” the group stated.

The youth also accused Mr. Dampare of orchestrating a campaign to derail Mr. Yohuno’s career.

This, they alleged, includes covert recordings by security analyst Adam Bonaa, a failed lawsuit challenging Mr Yohuno’s appointment, and deliberate exclusion from key police operations, such as the recent general election.

The statement further alleged that Mr Dampare’s actions have intensified following the opposition NDC's victory in the general elections.

According to the youth, recent publications by individuals like Owula Mangortey and social commentator Kwame Asare Obeng (A-Plus) falsely claim that Mr Yohuno conspired to rig the elections in favour of the NPP.

“These baseless accusations are intended to create public disaffection for Mr Yohuno and to block his chances of becoming IGP,” the youth asserted.

The Osudoku Youth hailed Mr Yohuno as a “man of proven integrity” who has risen through the police ranks due to hard work, discipline, and principled leadership.

They emphasized his reputation for fairness, professionalism, and dedication to duty, calling on the public to reject the “horrendous disinformation” being peddled against him.

Quoting scriptures from Romans 12:19 and Proverbs 26:24, the youth urged Mr. Yohuno to remain steadfast, leaving vengeance to God.

“We believe the truth will prevail, and those behind these malicious acts will be exposed,” they added.

The group also expressed disappointment in the police administration for failing to investigate what they described as “heinous crimes” of misinformation and propaganda, suggesting that the IGP himself might be the beneficiary of these schemes.

They concluded by urging Ghanaians to treat such publications with the “contempt they deserve” and reaffirmed their unwavering support for COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno.
