Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Grace Ansah-Akrofi has warned individuals involved in post-election violence, looting, and destruction to cease immediately or face legal action.
She stated that despite the situation and the extreme provocation, Police officers have not resorted to the use of firearms.
"We want to use this opportunity to caution those perpetrating these acts. So far, no firearms have been used, but they should not push it.
"Our officers are ready to respond appropriately, according to the law, to ensure that the peace of this country is not taken for granted,” she warned.
ACP Ansah-Akrofi gave the warning while addressing the media on ongoing efforts to manage post-election tensions.
She outlined several incidents of unrest, including crowd formations in Cantonments, Accra, and an attack at the Ghana Gas facility that left a military officer injured.
Other disturbances included masked individuals demanding jobs at the Ghana Petroleum Authority and the Passport Office.
Similar unrest was reported at the Engineers Centre in Asuboi, Ayensuano (Eastern Region), the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority in Tema, and Wenchi in the Bono Region, where a group attempted to storm a police station to free detainees.
ACP Ansah-Akrofi announced the arrest of 10 additional suspects, bringing the total number of individuals in custody to 107.
All suspects are being processed in accordance with the law.
She reiterated the security agencies' commitment to maintaining peace and order, urging the public to cooperate with authorities to ensure the country's stability.
