Inspector General Christian Tetteh Yohuno issued a stern directive to the Greater Accra Regional Police Commander regarding arrests connected to electoral disturbances. The police chief demanded immediate custody of all persons responsible for violence during the Ablekuma North by-election held July 11. Failure to complete these arrests by Friday July 25 would result in the commander's removal from office. Video evidence clearly identified the perpetrators who disrupted the voting process. Public pressure mounted against police handling of the chaotic scenes that election observers documented.
Several suspects already face detention while others contacted authorities expressing readiness to surrender voluntarily. Yohuno confirmed that processing would continue through Monday to ensure complete accountability for the disturbances. Court proceedings will commence shortly for those already processed through the system. The police service demonstrates unwavering commitment to electoral justice. Heavy deployment preparations target the upcoming Akwatia by-election to prevent similar incidents.
