The Ghana Police Service isn't taking any chances with doomsayers and scaremongers as the year comes to a close. The police cautioned individuals and faith-based organisations against disseminating false information and fear-inducing predictions in advance of the crossover events on December 31st, according to a statement issued by Assistant Commissioner of Police Grace Ansah-Akrofi.
According to the statement, "publishing such prophecies is not only reckless but could have serious consequences on public safety." The police claim that these careless actions only serve to disturb the peace, cause needless fear, and, in the worst situations, put lives in danger.
The police have increased security across the country to maintain order. "We have stepped up highway and residential patrols, enhanced traffic control at key intersections, and bolstered security at social and religious gatherings," they promised. In order to avoid any interruptions, they also pledged to protect vital infrastructure nationwide.
There were some warnings in the message, though. Everyone was urged by the police to do their share. The statement urged everyone to use caution and make sure their activities advance security, peace, and togetherness.
The police have made it plain that they are closely monitoring areas for social, recreational, and religious events, as crossover celebrations are anticipated to attract large crowds.
"We wish everyone, especially Ghanaians and visitors experiencing our homeland for the first time, a prosperous and peaceful New Year," they concluded as the country prepared to welcome 2025.
