The Ghana Police Service is investigating the destruction of a structure in Pusiga, Upper East Region. The incident, involving some local youth, took place on Saturday, June 22, 2024.
Contrary to reports claiming the destruction was due to political rivalry, the police clarified it stemmed from a misunderstanding between the youth and community leaders.
“Police investigations, including engagement with some community authorities, suggest the destruction is not due to political rivalry as claimed in the viral video, but rather from a misunderstanding between the youth and some elders,” a police statement read.
The police cautioned the public against spreading disinformation, which could cause fear and panic. They assured that they are collaborating with community stakeholders to resolve the issue and are working to apprehend those responsible for the destruction and the spread of disinformation.
