The Ghana Police Service have begun investigating the destruction of a structure in Pusiga in the Upper East Region by some youth in the community on Saturday 22nd June 2024.
Police investigation including engagement with some authorities in the community so far suggests the destruction of the structure was not due to political rivalry as claimed in the viral video but rather, it was as a result of a misunderstanding between the youth and some elders of the community.
The Police would therefore like to caution the public against disinformation which tends to cause fear and panic.
The Police are working with all stakeholders in the community to get the matter resolved. At the same time, efforts are ongoing to get the perpetrators behind the destruction and the disinformation arrested to face justice.
