IGP Yohuno's mother laid to rest

The mother of Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno was laid to rest today.

The solemn burial service which was held at the forecourt of the State House attracted high profiled dignitaries such as Founder of Believers' Worship Centre, Reverend Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah and Members of Parliament from both the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Others present at the service were Chinese nationals, Kumawood actors, religious leaders, traditional rulers, and other sympathizers.

Clad in white, the IGP led the ceremony, paying a heartfelt tribute to his mother and ensuring she was given a befitting burial.

Renowned Evangelist, Rev. Dr. Lawrence Tetteh, was also present, as well as the gospel music trio, Daughters of Glorious Jesus, who ministered in song during the service.

The funeral caused significant traffic congestion between the State House and Ridge Roundabout, as a result of the massive turnout and heightened police presence to ensure order and security.

The ceremony was a reflection of the IGP’s broad network and the respect he commands across political, religious, and cultural divides.
