The Ghana Police Service has vehemently denied allegations made by Johnson Asiedu Nketia, National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), regarding the arrest of three individuals in the Awutu Senya East Constituency.
At a press conference on Saturday, June 9, Mr. Asiedu Nketia stated that high-ranking police officials had informed him that the arrests were ordered from above. However, in an official statement, the police clarified that these claims are “false and baseless.”
The statement emphasized that neither the Accra Regional Police Commander, the Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), nor the Inspector-General of Police made such statements.
According to the police, the three suspects were arrested after a Pump Action gun with four rounds of ammunition was found in their vehicle at the Electoral Commission’s office in Ofaakor, Awutu Senya East constituency. The suspects have since been cautioned and granted bail.
The police statement read, “We categorically state that the claims are false and without basis.
None of the officers mentioned in the video made any such pronouncement.
