IGP Christian Tetteh Yohuno Meets FBI in New York as Ghana Moves to Crush “Game Boys” Menace

Ghana’s Inspector-General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has led a high-powered delegation from the Ghana Police Service to the FBI Field Office in New York to strengthen security cooperation between Ghana and the United States.

The visit focused on deepening intelligence collaboration, combating organized and financial crimes, and tackling the growing wave of cyber fraud — popularly referred to in Ghana as the “Game Boys” menace.

The IGP’s engagement with senior FBI officials signals Ghana’s renewed commitment to modern policing and global partnerships in addressing transnational crime. Discussions centered on cybersecurity training, information sharing, and joint operational strategies that will enhance the capabilities of both agencies in detecting and dismantling complex criminal networks.

IGP Yohuno emphasized Ghana’s readiness to adopt cutting-edge law enforcement techniques to protect citizens and safeguard the country’s international reputation. “Our vision is to build a professional, accountable, and globally connected Police Service that ensures the safety and security of all,” he affirmed.

Security analysts say the move could spell difficult times for internet fraudsters as the FBI and Ghana Police Service tighten collaboration on digital investigations and cross-border crime tracking.

The partnership also paves the way for advanced capacity-building programs, intelligence exchanges, and coordinated responses to international threats — marking another milestone in Ghana’s quest for stronger global security ties.

With IGP Christian Tetteh Yohuno at the helm, the Ghana Police Service appears poised to usher in a new era of proactive policing and enhanced international cooperation — one that may finally put the “Game Boys” on notice.
