Ghanaian Afro-dancehall artiste Stonebwoy has been honoured with the Ghana Police Badge of Service by the Ghana Police Service, becoming one of the few civilians to receive the recognition.
The musician shared the news in a post on X on May 19, 2026, alongside videos showing him with Inspector General of Police Christian Tetteh Yohuno and other senior police officers during what appeared to be an official presentation ceremony.
Reflecting on the honour, Stonebwoy described the recognition as a symbol of service, discipline and national purpose.
“A true symbol of service is not only to protect a nation with power but also to protect its spirit with purpose. I received the Ghana Police Badge of Service with integrity as a reminder that influence, discipline, culture, and service can walk hand in hand,” he wrote.
The award-winning artiste also expressed appreciation to the IGP and the police administration for the honour.
“Deep appreciation to the Inspector General of Ghana Police, IGP Christian Tetteh Yohuno and the entire Police Service for this honour, recognition, and trust. For the people. For the youth. For the motherland,” he added.
The Ghana Police Badge of Service awarded to civilians is an honorary recognition presented to individuals who have made exceptional contributions to society, supported law enforcement efforts, or demonstrated outstanding commitment to public service.
The badge does not grant police powers or authority but serves as a symbol of appreciation and trust from the police service.
