The Ghana Police Service has assured the public that all individuals involved in Wednesday’s violent mob attack at Kwame Danso will be identified, arrested, and prosecuted.

The December 10, 2025, incident saw a group of youths launch coordinated assaults on both the District Court and the District Police Headquarters in the Sene West District. According to the Bono East Regional Police Command, calm has since been restored after swift intervention by reinforcement teams.

Police reports indicate that the disturbances began around 10:30 a.m., when an estimated 100 youths stormed the District Court during an active hearing. The mob vandalised furniture, fans and other items, forcibly freed two accused persons standing trial, and reportedly assaulted the complainant.

“The youth damaged items on sight and posed a threat to everyone present,” a police source said.

The violence later spread to the Kwame Danso Police Headquarters, where two officers on duty were attacked, and parts of the station were vandalised.

Reinforcement teams from the Atebubu Division, supported by a detachment from the Formed Police Units (FPUs), were immediately deployed, successfully dispersing the mob and stabilising the area.

Following the incident, the Inspector-General of Police ordered the temporary closure of both the Kwame Danso Police Station and the District Court. Personnel have been reassigned to other parts of the region pending further notice.

The Bono East Regional Command described the closures as precautionary, explaining, “This measure is to ensure the safety of personnel while investigations continue.”

ASP/Mr Appiah Danquah, Acting Public Relations Officer for the Bono East Region, reaffirmed the Service’s commitment to justice.

“Perpetrators will be identified, arrested, and made to face the full consequences of the law,” he stressed. “We remain committed to maintaining peace and protecting the community.”
