The Ghana Police Service is investigating 88 individuals apprehended aboard two Metro Mass Transit buses intercepted at Benchema, near Asawinso in the Western North Region, on Tuesday, December 3, 2024.
Preliminary findings indicate that the individuals were allegedly recruited by a man identified only as “Sammy” from various locations in the Greater Accra Region, including Adenta, Oyarifa, and Madina.
The group was reportedly en route to provide security at polling stations in several constituencies within the Western North Region ahead of the December 7 general elections.
All 88 suspects are currently in police custody and are assisting with the investigation. Authorities have intensified efforts to locate the alleged recruiter, Sammy, to aid in uncovering the full details of the operation.
