The Ghana Police Service has strongly denied claims of disturbances in Nsawam Adoagyiri allegedly linked to the Electoral Commission’s (EC) re-collation exercise conducted in Accra on December 21, 2024.
In a statement, the Police described the allegations, which were based on a viral video, as entirely unfounded.
The video purported to show individuals blocking roads and setting fires in protest against the collation exercise.
“We wish to state that the claim is false and has no correlation with today’s collation exercise in Accra. The said incident is a reported case under investigation which occurred on 8th December 2024,” the statement clarified.
The Police emphasised that the events depicted in the video were unrelated to the EC’s activities, noting that the re-collation exercise took place in Accra and not Nsawam Adoagyiri.
The Ghana Police Service urged the public to disregard the video and refrain from sharing unverified information that could incite unnecessary panic or tension.
“We, therefore, urge the public to disregard the false claim,” the statement read.
The Police also reassured the public of their commitment to ensuring peace and security during the ongoing electoral processes.
