Dr. George Akuffo Damapare, the Inspector General of Police, has emphasised that the Service will take severe action against anyone who incites violence before, during, or after the December 7 general elections.
The IGP stated that holding offenders accountable will serve as a deterrent for others.
He made the remarks during an engagement with the Civic Forum Initiative at the Police Headquarters in Accra on Tuesday, November 19, 2024.
He emphasised that the Services will firmly execute the law to preserve tranquilly during the election 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.
