Speaking at a meeting between the leadership of the Ghana Police Service and the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) in Accra on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, Yohuno disclosed that the arrests were made by the Accra Regional Police Command. He added that the suspects are being processed for prosecution.

He said “The Accra Regional Commander, as of yesterday, said he had eight suspects. Eight suspects have been arrested…They are being processed, and from the advice I had from the Regional Commander, tomorrow or Friday, they will be put before the court.”

During the election rerun across 19 polling stations, three journalists and some political figures were attacked, incidents that drew widespread criticism.

The rerun of the parliamentary election in the Ablekuma North Constituency, marred by brutal attacks on New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters by thugs affiliated with the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), is a disturbing reminder that election violence has become a normalised, dangerous feature of Ghana’s democracy.

Also, some suspected thugs attacked NPP Deputy National Organiser Chris Lloyd Nii Kwei Asamoah at the Odorkor Methodist 1 polling station on Friday, July 11, 2025.

The NPP claims the attack was orchestrated by individuals linked to the NDC, accusing them of attempting to intimidate delegates and destabilise the election.

The IGP assured the GJA of the Police Service’s commitment to ensuring justice, stressing that both perpetrators and any officers who failed in their professional duties would be held accountable.

He said “We are making progress and we will make sure that whatever happens, justice will be done to those who, in one way or the other, did not do their work in a professional manner.”

Dr. Yohuno further underscored the police administration’s zero tolerance for misconduct, emphasising that electoral integrity and public trust rely on the professionalism of security officers.
