How a female police officer went undercover as a club girl to secure a Nalerigu arrest

A newly promoted female police officer has shared details of a risky undercover operation in Nalerigu, revealing how she disguised herself as a club girl to help her team arrest a suspect.

Recounting the assignment, the officer said the operation was far from easy. “I’ll talk about one of the arrests, which we went to Nalerigu. It was really difficult, but then we tried our best,” she said.

She explained that conventional tactics failed, forcing the team to adopt a different approach. As the only woman on the team, she took on the undercover role to ensure the mission succeeded.

“As the only lady, I did my best to act like a club girl, just to ensure the suspect was arrested. That was what I did,” she stated.

Reflecting on her recent promotion, the officer expressed gratitude and humility, describing it as a calling rather than personal achievement.

“I’m really honored, because there are a lot of women, but then God decided I should be chosen, and I’ve been chosen, so I just thank Him, and we pray that He gives us that strength for us to continue working,” she said.

The officer is among 13 senior police officers recently promoted by the Inspector-General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, in recognition of what the Police Service described as distinguished and dedicated service. She was the only woman included in the promotion list.
