Private Solomon Asare Teye-Tsu, a Ghanaian soldier who was celebrated for rejecting a bribe from illegal miners, has been promoted by the Ghana Armed Forces and nominated to serve with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon.

At a well-attended all-ranks durbar held at Burma Camp in Accra on Friday, July 11, 2025, the Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS), Lieutenant General William Agyapong, announced Teye-Tsu's promotion from Private to Lance Corporal, effective immediately, according to a report by graphic.com.gh Currently with the Public Relations Department of the Ghana Armed Forces, Lance Corporal Teye-Tsu has also been selected to serve with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon.

The report noted that he received a second citation for his conduct at the event, which brought together senior officers and ranks from across the military.

Commending him, the CDS stressed that the Armed Forces remains committed to upholding discipline and honour. "Much as acts of indiscipline will attract sanctions, professional conduct such as that of L/Cpl Teye-Tsu will attract reward and commendation," he said. 30-year-old Lance Corporal Teye-Tsu made headlines in 2025 while on guard duty at the Bibiani Gold Mines.
