According to a police statement released on Wednesday, Musah Muntari, a 46-year-old Station Manager at STC, and Ali Saeed, also known as Mboma, a 43-year-old businessman, are currently assisting with investigations.
The arrests form part of ongoing efforts by law enforcement to bring perpetrators of election-related violence to justice.
The statement, signed by Juliana Boateng, Head of Public Affairs at the Accra Regional Police Command, reaffirmed the police’s commitment to ensuring accountability for acts of violence, intimidation, and misconduct that marred the electoral process.
“The public is encouraged to cooperate by sharing credible information through emergency numbers 18555 or 191,” the statement added.
The re-run was marred by several violent events, including the assault of a journalist from GHOne TV, a former Fisheries Minister, Mavis Hawa Koomson, and a Deputy National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Earlier on July 17, police confirmed that an officer involved in the assault on the journalist had been formally charged with assault.
These developments come amid increased calls from civil society and the public for accountability and reforms to curb politically motivated violence during elections.
