Ghana Police Strengthen Post-Election Security, Urge Unity and Peace


In the wake of Ghana’s recent general elections, the Ghana Police Service has intensified efforts to maintain peace and order across the country. Under the leadership of ACP Grace Ansah-Akrofi, Head of the Public Affairs Directorate, the police have implemented a strategic three-phase plan—pre-election, election day, and post-election—to safeguard democratic processes and ensure stability.


During the pre-election phase, the police collaborated with stakeholders, gathered intelligence, and provided critical support to the Electoral Commission. On election day, security teams were deployed nationwide to monitor activities at polling stations and collation centers.


Currently, in the post-election phase, the police have ramped up joint patrols with the military and intelligence operations in communities. This has led to the arrest of 107 suspects linked to acts of lawlessness, with 106 cases now progressing through the legal system.


To further bolster these efforts, a special investigative team has been reviewing footage and reports to track down additional perpetrators. “We are committed to identifying and arresting all individuals involved in unlawful activities,” ACP Ansah-Akrofi affirmed.


The police have also been actively engaging political party leaders and other stakeholders to promote unity and discourage the spread of misinformation. “Let us work together to preserve the peace we have cherished, proving once again that Ghana has triumphed in democracy,” ACP Ansah-Akrofi stated.


With a combination of enforcement, dialogue, and community collaboration, the Ghana Police Service remains steadfast in its mission to protect citizens and uphold the nation's democratic values.

Royal Jamong Family Raises Alarm Over Alleged Political Interference in Bunkpurugu Chieftaincy Dispute

Image
The Royal Jamong Family of Bunkpurugu has expressed deep concern over what it describes as political interference by Vice President Dr. Mahamud Bawumia and the NPP parliamentary candidate for Bunkpurugu, Mr. Solomon N. Boar, in the ongoing chieftaincy dispute surrounding the Bunkpurugu skin. In a strongly-worded statement, the family accused the two politicians of exerting undue pressure on the National House of Chiefs, a move that they believe undermines the integrity of the chieftaincy institution. The family pointed to recent comments made by Abuba, who claimed that his uncle, Vice President Bawumia, had promised to ensure that a pending judgment in the chieftaincy case would be delayed indefinitely. This, the Royal Jamong Family warned, is a "sad development and a recipe for disaster." The family has also documented Mr. Boar's activities, including a recent trip to Accra with Abuba to meet the Vice President. This has led the family to question the motivations behind ...

Superior Prophet Michael Opoku Calls for Unity After Court Victory

The African Faith Tabernacle Church has emerged victorious in a protracted legal battle over its leadership. Superior Prophet Michael Opoku Nkansah, the successor of the late Superior Prophet David Nkansah II and head of the church worldwide, addressed a press conference to announce the landmark ruling by the Adenta High Court. The conflict began nearly three years ago when Prophet Michael Opoku Nkansah was appointed as the church’s Superior Prophet following the passing of his predecessor. His appointment, in accordance with the church’s constitution, was challenged by a faction within the church who opposed his installation. This group filed a series of legal actions, including an application to restrain him from performing his duties and a contempt motion against him and eight other chief pastors. In a decisive ruling on January 17, 2024, the Adenta High Court dismissed both the injunction and the contempt application. The case reached its climax on December 10, 2024, when the court...

Image
Dr. Nathaniel Acolatse, a Deputy Chief Physician Assistant at Ga West Municipal Hospital, is challenging the Tema TDC Court to make public the court order his former wife, Maria Fianyo, claimed to have received. According to Maria, the judge at the Tema TDC Court instructed her to take custody of their children and warned her not to allow Dr. Acolatse any access to them. Dr. Acolatse questions the legitimacy of this order and dares the court to release the unedited Social Enquiry Report. "I challenge the Tema TDC Court to make public the supposed court order Maria Fianyo claims to have received, instructing her to take the children and barring me from seeing them," Dr. Acolatse stated. "I also demand that the court release the full, unedited Social Enquiry Report. The issue revolves around a decent apartment where my children were happily staying versus an uncompleted building where Maria was residing—a choice that the Tema TDC Court inexplicably preferred." Dr. Aco...
