Abdulai argues that the creation of a deputy IGP position is unconstitutional and is asking that the Court declare it as such.
“A further declaration that on a true and proper interpretation of Articles 202 (1), 202(2), 202 (3), of the 1992 Constitution; Section 3 of the Police Service Act 1970 (Act 350), and Regulations 6(1), 6(2), 6(3), and 6(4) of the Police Service Regulations 2012, (C.I. 76), the Appointment of Commissioner of Police, COP, Mr. Christian Yohuno, as Deputy Inspector General of Police, in charge of operations by the President of the Republic of Ghana, is unconstitutional null and void,” he said in a filing dated July 30, 2024.
