The Ghana Police Service has launched an investigation into 88 individuals who were found aboard two Metro Mass Transit buses intercepted on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, near Benchema, located in the Western North Region.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the individuals, who had been traveling from various locations in the Greater Accra Region, were allegedly recruited by a man identified only as Sammy. According to police reports, the recruits were instructed to provide security at polling stations within select constituencies in the Western North Region, ahead of upcoming electoral processes.
The suspects, who were traveling on the buses to an unknown destination, are currently assisting with the ongoing investigation. Authorities are working to track down Sammy, who is believed to be a key figure behind the recruitment operation.
The police have expressed confidence in their efforts to ensure that all involved in this operation are thoroughly investigated and held accountable. Law enforcement officials continue to emphasize the importance of upholding the integrity of the electoral process and maintaining peace and security during the election period.
Strenuous efforts are underway to locate Sammy, whose recruitment activities are under close scrutiny. The investigation is ongoing, and further details will be released as they become available.
