The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) has commended the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, for his exceptional role in mediating conflicts and promoting peace and stability across the country.
According to the IGP, Otumfuo’s continuous intervention in disputes, chieftaincy conflicts, and community tensions has significantly contributed to national cohesion and security, complementing the efforts of state institutions.
In response, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II praised officers and men of the Ghana Police Service for their selfless service, dedication, and sacrifices in protecting lives and property nationwide.
He described the work of the Police as critical to maintaining law and order in a democratic society.
The Asantehene emphasized that customary authority and the Constitution are not in conflict, noting that long before the advent of constitutional governance, traditional leaders played key roles in resolving disputes, addressing crime, and mediating conflicts within communities.
He stressed that traditional authority remains a vital partner in modern governance and justice delivery.
Otumfuo further called on the Inspector-General of Police to strengthen integrity, professionalism, and core values within the Police Service, urging leadership to reinforce discipline and ethical standards to build greater public trust and confidence.
He reiterated that strong collaboration between traditional institutions and state security agencies is essential for sustaining peace, justice, and development in the country.
