The Accra Regional Police Command has arrested a suspect in connection with an alleged arson attack at the premises of Grace Town Power Ministry Headquarters (Alpha Hour) in Accra.
According to a press release issued by the Regional Public Affairs Unit of the Ghana Police Service on February 11, 2026, the incident occurred within the Mile 7 District of the Tesano Division.
