The Ghana Police Service, under the National Election Security Task Force (NESTF), has arrested 107 suspects in connection with post-election violence.
According to ACP Grace Ansah-Akrofi, the head of public affairs directorate, the police have recorded series of incidents in three regions: Greater Accra, Eastern, and Bono regions.
Incidents of violence and unrest have been reported in these regions, including a massing up of people at the Ghana Ports and Harbour Authority and the GNPC engineers department, which were also attacked.
However, swift intervention by the police and military has brought the situation under control. In the Bono region, a suspect broke cells and freed some persons being detained by police.
ACP Ansah-Akrofi has called on the general public to have confidence and trust in the election security task force, ensuring peace and order, and allowing citizens to go about their daily duties without fear.
The police service is working closely with the Ghana Armed Forces to restore peace and stability in the affected regions. The arrests are part of efforts to maintain law and order and ensure a peaceful post-election period in Ghana.
