The Ghana Police Service has arrested several individuals dressed in brown uniforms who were posing as security personnel near the Awoshie DVLA polling station in the Ablekuma North Constituency.
The individuals were unable to properly identify themselves when questioned and were subsequently detained and taken to the Odorkor Police Station for further investigation.
The suspects were reportedly positioned near the entrance of the polling center, where their lack of valid identification raised suspicion among officers overseeing security during the parliamentary election re-run.
John Desmond Nii Sowah Nai, Municipal Chief Executive for Ga West and Dean of MMDCEs in the Greater Accra Region, confirmed the arrests. He noted that initial assessments suggest the individuals are not affiliated with any recognized state security agency.
Police investigations are ongoing to confirm the identities of the suspects and to uncover their intent.
