Election 2024: Police Deploy Security Personnel to Contain Post-Election Violence
The Ghana Police Service has deployed hundreds of security personnel to various intersections across the country to control post-election violence.
According to Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Grace Ansah-Akrofi, Director of Public Affairs, this move aims to ensure calmness and protect citizens from further lawless acts.
ACP Ansah-Akrofi revealed that the police have recorded pockets of violent incidents in three regions: Greater Accra, Bono, and Eastern.
In the Bono Region, an individual invaded a police station, freeing suspects, but the police intervened to maintain law and order.

To address these incidents, the police have intensified security measures nationwide.
