Silencer Ojionu Shares Why Ghana Police Service Stands Out From Nigerian Police

• Nigerian TikToker Silencer Ojionu has praised the Ghanaian police for their respectful conduct compared to their Nigerian counterparts
• He highlighted how Ghanaian authorities refrain from interfering in citizens’ affairs, even when dealing with high-profile individuals
• The comedian sparked reactions after commending the Ghanaian police during his month-long stay in Ghana

Nigerian TikToker Silencer Ojionu recently shared his experience with law enforcement in Ghana, a few months after arriving in the country.

The comedian noted the difference between the Ghana Police Service (GPS) and the Nigerian Police Force (NPF).

In a video on his TikTok page, he shared his observations, giving his fans and followers insight into how policemen in Ghana behave.

He said that authorities in Ghana do not interfere in other people’s business, even if the person is as popular as he is.

He claimed this is the complete opposite of what happens in Nigeria, where he comes from.

According to him, the Ghanaian police are very well behaved, and the Nigerian police should try to emulate their actions.

He added that policemen in Nigeria mishandle citizens far more often than those in Ghana.

To drive his point home, the popular entertainer explained that during his month-long stay in Ghana, he experienced no issues with the police—a refreshing change from his frequent run-ins with law enforcement in Nigeria, often over petty matters.

He noted that police officers back home frequently try to extort him due to his fame, but in Ghana, he is met with cheers from the police, which he prefers.

Ghana Police Service promotes four standout officers

YEN.com.gh had earlier reported that the Ghana Police Service promoted four officers from the Western Central Regional Police Command in recognition of their diligence, professionalism, and dedication to duty.

The promoted officers, identified as General Sergeant Fetus Gameli Kukuia, General Corporal Christian Asare, General Corporal Nicholas Kingsley Amoah, and General Constable Adam Yakubu, were elevated to the ranks of Inspector, Sergeant, and Lance Corporal.

The Ghana Police Service emphasised that these promotions serve as motivation for other personnel and reaffirm their commitment to rewarding excellence in the fight against crime.
