The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has described the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, as the modern-day embodiment of the biblical King Solomon, citing his wisdom and exceptional role in promoting peace and national cohesion.

The IGP made the remark during a historic visit by the Asantehene to the Police Headquarters in Accra on Tuesday, January 6.

According to Mr. Yohuno, Otumfuo’s calm disposition, moral authority and patience have been instrumental in resolving some of the country’s most protracted conflicts, bringing stability where tension once prevailed.

He specifically referenced Otumfuo’s mediation efforts in the Dagbon chieftaincy dispute, as well as interventions in Yendi and the long-standing Bawku conflict, noting that these initiatives have significantly supported police operations and strengthened public confidence in security efforts.

“Your exceptional mediation skills, which have restored peace in numerous conflicts across our nation, compel me to describe you as the King Solomon of our time,” the IGP stated.Juliana Odame Asare
