Private Legal Practitioner, Eric Owusu Sae, has praised the Ghana Police Service for their professional handling of post-election incidents across the country.
He highlighted the police’s restraint and patience in managing the situation, which prevented tensions from escalating further.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Mr. Sae described the police’s conduct during the entire electioneering period as commendable.
“As expected, the 2024 elections have been peaceful and the nation appears to be moving on. I have however noticed isolated incidents of post-election tension in some parts of the country. It is commendable how the Ghana Police is handling these incidents.
“So far, I’ve yet to come across a report of an assault on any citizen or gunshot by the Police, which incidents are associated with African elections.
“I expect more of such restraint and professionalism exhibited by the Police to continue as these traits are a function of a fledging democracy,” he noted.
So far over 100 people have been arrested in connection with the pockets of vandalism that followed the elections with many of them going through the due process of the law for prosecution.
