MCUG Appeals to IGP Yohuno as 47 Motor Riders Lose Livelihoods Over Tesano MTTD Commander Actions

Anthony Amponsah November 26, 2025

The Motorcycle Couriers Union of Ghana (MCUG) has issued a heartfelt appeal to the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, following the continued detention of motorcycles belonging to 47 of its members.

This plea comes at a time when the Union has also extended warm congratulations to the IGP on the extension of his service as head of the Ghana Police Service—a move they describe as well-deserved and timely.

According to MCUG, the 47 riders have been rendered jobless due to the conduct of Chief Superintendent Comfort Forkah, Commander of the Tesano MTTD Division, whose actions have resulted in the prolonged seizure of the riders’ motorcycles. These motorcycles, which serve as the primary source of income for the riders, have reportedly been held for an extended period without clear communication or resolution.

The Union emphasized the severe hardship this situation has caused—not only for the riders themselves but also for their families and dependents. One such case involves a woman serving as a military officer on a peacekeeping mission in Bawku, whose husband was among those detained. MCUG highlighted the emotional and financial strain placed on this family, calling it “deeply troubling and avoidable.”

In their statement, MCUG appealed to IGP Yohuno to intervene urgently, stressing the importance of upholding due process and ensuring that justice is served. They noted that the actions of Chief Superintendent Forkah have raised serious concerns among members of the public regarding the conduct and accountability of some police personnel.

MCUG expressed confidence that under Mr. Yohuno’s leadership, the Ghana Police Service will continue to reinforce professionalism, integrity, and trustworthiness—values they believe are essential to maintaining public confidence.

The Union concluded by assuring the IGP of their willingness to cooperate with the police service to resolve the matter peacefully and restore the livelihoods of the affected riders.
