The Ghana Police Service, in collaboration with other security agencies under the National Election Security Taskforce, continues to provide security to ensure that Ghana remains at peace with itself.

Over the past 24 hours, there has not been any major security incident across the country. We, urge the public to continue to go about their normal socio-economic activities as the Police continue to implement stringent security measures to ensure their safety and protect their properties.

The Police wish to inform the public that the 123 persons so far arrested are being taken through the due process of the law.

Out of the total number of suspects arrested, 49 have been processed for court, with 16 granted court bail, while 33 have been remanded into Police and Prisons custody to reappear on later dates.

Additionally, 70 suspects have been granted Police Inquiry Bail in compliance with the constitutional requirement to process suspects for court within 48 hours.

Four (4) other suspects who were arrested within the last 24 hours are currently in Police custody and will be put before the court tomorrow.
The Police are working on these cases with the Office of the Attorney General.

With regards to the incident involving the whereabouts of the Efutu National Democratic Congress (NDC) Constituency 2nd Vice-Chairman, Mr Abraham Ato Anan, we wish to state that the chairman is in good health and with his family and in contact with the Police.

We, therefore, urge the public to disregard the misinformation and disinformation regarding his whereabouts.

Once again, we want to assure the public that the Police remain committed to ensuring peace, security, law and order in the country.
