The Accra Regional Police Command has commenced investigations into a viral video circulating on social media in which an unidentified individual is seen obstructing police officers in the lawful discharge of their duties.
In separate videos, the same individual is also heard issuing threats against the Ghana Police Service, a development the Command has condemned.
A statement signed by Superintendent Juliana Obeng, the Head of Public Affairs at the Accra Regional Command, said such actions not only constituted criminal offences under Ghanaian laws but also undermined police authority and threatened public order. "The Command wishes to condemn in no uncertain terms such acts of interference and issuance of threats, which have no place in a law-abiding society," it said.
The police noted that obstructing officers in the performance of their lawful duties, as well as issuing threats against public officers or institutions, were punishable offences and would not be tolerated.
