The video, which has circulated widely on social media, caused significant alarm among the public due to the suspects’ aggressive and threatening behaviour. The Ghana Police Service moved quickly to address the situation and ensure public safety.
“We wish to assure the public that all the suspects will be taken through the due process of the law,” a police spokesperson stated. “Our priority is to maintain public safety and ensure that such threats are dealt with appropriately.”
The swift response by the police has been commended by many citizens, who expressed relief that the suspects have been apprehended. “It’s reassuring to see the police act so quickly,” said a local resident. “This kind of behaviour is unacceptable, and it’s good to know that those responsible are being held accountable.”
The police have urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities. “Community cooperation is vital in maintaining law and order,” the spokesperson added. “We encourage everyone to stay alert and support the police in keeping our communities safe.”
The investigation is ongoing, and the police have promised to keep the public informed of any significant developments.
Meanwhile, the Tema Traditional Council has expressed its gratitude to the Ghana Police Service for the enhanced peace and security in the Tema traditional area. This commendation comes in light of the effective leadership and policing strategies implemented by the newly deployed regional commander, under the guidance of Inspector-General of Police Dr George Akuffo Dampare.
