The Ghana Police Service has intensified efforts to maintain peace and security ahead of the 2024 general elections.
In Obuasi, a town in the southern region, the police have announced a bounty of GH₵20,000 ($1,266) for credible information leading to the arrest of individuals threatening election-related violence.
This initiative highlights their determination to prevent activities that could disrupt the electoral process.
In a related development, a journalist in Kumasi, the Ashanti Region’s capital, has been detained for allegedly spreading false information intended to incite unrest.
Authorities have emphasized that misinformation during the election period poses a grave threat to public order and democracy.
These measures are part of the police’s broader strategy to curb electoral violence and uphold the integrity of the upcoming elections.
