As the year winds down, the Ghana Police Service isn't taking any chances with fearmongers and doom prophets.
In a statement signed by Assistant Commissioner of Police Grace Ansah-Akrofi, the Police warned faith-based organizations and individuals to steer clear of spreading fear-inducing prophecies and misinformation ahead of the 31st December crossover events. "The publication of such prophecies is not only irresponsible but could have serious consequences on public safety," the statement declared.
According to the Police, these reckless acts do nothing but disrupt public order, sow unnecessary panic, and, in extreme cases, endanger lives.
To keep things under control, the Police have beefed up security nationwide. "We have intensified residential and highway patrols, improved traffic management at major intersections, and strengthened security at faith-based and social events," they assured.
