His visit was to support and monitor security arrangements and deployments and interact with the media and members of the public, commuters and drivers to boost morale and general security.
The IGP, Dr George Akuffo Dampare, says his visit is part of his yearly tour to assure the public of the willingness of the Police Service to secure their safety.
“As the year ends, security issues go up a bit so we have to spread ourselves into various regions to help ensure the safety of the general public” he indicated.
Speaking to Luv FM's Erastus Asare Donkor, the Police Public Affairs Director, Chief Supt. Grace Ansah-Akrofi addressed the recent caution to religious leaders on doom prophecies.
She says, the Ghana Police Service is not against divination and prophesy, but will not countenance the communication of prophecy in a manner which violates human rights and the rule of law.
“The Police has no issue with prophecies, our message was clear. Prophesy all you want but do it within the limit of the law” she said.
Even as the Police issue caution on charlatanic prophesies, some so-called men of God say they even have prophecies on the IGP himself.
She told Luv FM's Erastus Asare Donkor that the Police will monitor and react appropriately if such prophecies violate any law.
Chief Supt. Grace Ansah, cited some achievements made by the Police Service, adding that the IGP and government have put in place measures to ensure sanity in the Service.
“I would not be surprised to see Ghana Police top any ranking considering the measures being put in place by the IGP and government,” she said.
