Dampare pledges to deal ruthlessly with election troublemakers – Dampare

The Ghana Police Service has pledged to take firm action against individuals who incite violence before, during, and after the December elections.

The police stated that holding perpetrators accountable will act as a deterrent to others considering actions that could destabilize the country.

During an engagement with the Civic Forum Initiative at the Police Headquarters in Accra, on Tuesday, November 19, Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akufo-Dampare, emphasized a zero-tolerance approach to violence.

He assured that the police would enforce the law strictly to ensure peace throughout the electoral period.

“You should be rest assured, we will engage where we have to engage. We will deescalate where we want to deescalate but when we have to be ruthless in the enforcement of the law, within the context of the rule of law, we will stop at nothing.

“So, Ghanaians should be with us and bear with us, have our back for us to confront anybody who wants to take the peace of this country for granted.

“We hope and remain convinced that the campaigning period will also remain peaceful. We are now focusing on the D-Day and the post-D-Day,” he stated.
