IGP urges religious leaders to use sermons to promote peace and prevent religious conflict
Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohunu, has called on religious leaders to take a more active role in promoting interfaith harmony, discouraging violence and strengthening public confidence in Ghana’s justice system.
Speaking at an engagement with religious leaders at the National Police Headquarters, the IGP said religious leaders had a crucial role to play in protecting Ghana’s peace, particularly by influencing the behaviour and attitudes of young people.
The IGP’s third appeal was for religious leaders and their congregations to have confidence in Ghana’s statutory justice system and discourage attempts to take the law into their own hands.
