The Ghana Police Service is 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 suggest the destruction of the structure is 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 has the tendency to cause fear and panic.
The Police are working with all stakeholders in the community to get the matter resolved while efforts are ongoing to get the perpetrators behind the destruction and the disinformation arrested to face justice.
