Election security is shared responsibility – Police

The Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Joseph Atsu Dzineku, the Ada Divisional Police Commander, has urged the people in Ada and Ghanaians to assist the security agencies in achieving the goal of violence-free elections.

He said this would maintain Ghana’s reputation globally as one of the most democratic and peaceful countries in the world. 

Dzineku, who was speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA), said the security personnel were not going to witch-hunt any citizen at the polling centres but rather to protect lives and properties, hence the need for the electorates to collaborate with the security that would be deployed to the various polling stations. 

The Divisional Commander lauded the people of Ada for their peaceful coexistence and urged them to keep up with their good records of violence-free elections. 

He advised the electorates to go out and vote as part of their right as citizens, advising them to return home immediately after exercising their franchise.
