The North East Regional Police Command have arrested 12 persons involved in the mayhem at Chereponi in July this year.

According a release signed by the Director of public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service, Chief. Supt. Grace Ansah-Akrofi, the 12 would be put before court today.

Read the full release below:

Following communal clashes on 25th July, 2022, in the Gbalo and Kukpong/Sagong communities in the Chereponi District of the North-East Region, the Police through an intelligence-led operation during the wee hours of 24th August, 2022, arrested twelve (12) persons for their involvement in the clashes.

The suspects are Sulemana A. Mumunl, Sallfu Abdulai, SUlemana Seidu, Alidu Mukaila, Adam Naaba, Alhassan Nasona, Bawah Yakubu Ibn Mohammed, Bawah Salisu, Imoro Bomah, Imoro Karim, Adams Nasona and Abdulai Yussif.

The dashes which happened about a month ago led to the burning down of sixteen (16} houses and the killing of several livestock. However, the timely intervention of the Police led to the saving of lives and restoration of calm in the affected communities.

We would therefore like to commend the North-East Regional Police Commander, DCOP Mr. Moses Ali Kpeachin and his team for their efforts in restoring calm and gathering intelligence leading to the arrest of the key suspects behind the clashes.

The suspects will be arraigned before court tomorrow [today, Thursday, August 25, 2022] to face justice.

We continue to urge everyone to choose dialogue rather than violence in resolving their differences.
