The Ghana Police Service has arrested 12 persons in connection with the destruction of the Electoral Commission (EC) office in Damongo.
Some angry youth stormed the EC office in the Damongo Municipal and set fire to the EC office in protest over the delay in the declaration of election results.
In a statement, the Director of the Police Public Affairs Directorate, ACP Grace Ansah-Akrofi, said. They have arrested 12 suspects.
“Preliminary investigation has established that the suspects attacked and caused damage to some state assets, including the setting ablaze of the EC office in Damango in the Savannah Region, causing damage to some residences of the district chief executives in some parts of the country and vandalising some collation centres.
“Additionally, some of these suspects broke into the school feeding programme warehouse in Tamale and made away with some items, including foodstuff.
“Footages of the attack, vandalism and looting have been obtained and are being reviewed by a team of investigators to get the perpetrators arrested to face justice.
“We urge the public to remain calm as police officers have been deployed to key locations with intensified patrols to maintain law and order,” she added.
