The Inspector-General of Police James Oppong-Boanuh has insisted that the Police is ready to maintain law and order before, during and after the December polls.
During a courtesy call on the Savannah Regional Minister Salifu Adam Braimah in Damongo, the IGP urged the youth not to allow themselves to be used by self seeking politicians to perpetuate violence.
“The police is ready to maintain law and order before, during and after the 2020 polls. There is however the need for collaboration between the security agencies and the citizenry to ensure that the polls is not characterized by incidents. Education is key in this regard,” he stated.
He noted, “the citizens must be prepared to keep peace. The youth in particular must not allow politics to create divisions between us because we are one people who will continue to stay in the same community together after the polls.”
Mr Oppong Boanuh further noted that violence does not pay therefore it is needless to antagonize each other.
“Let us not antagonize each other over politics because it does not pay to be violent,” he stressed.
