The Accra Regional Police Command has arrested two individuals believed to be involved in the violent action that marred the Ablekuma North parliamentary rerun on July 11, 2025.
The arrested suspects are Musah Muntari, 46, a Station Manager at STC, and Ali Saeed, also known as Mboma, a 43-year-old businessman.
They are currently in custody and are assisting with the ongoing investigations.
The election was significantly disrupted by chaos, as masked individuals, suspected to be affiliated with political parties, launched attacks against voters, journalists, and political figures at polling centres.
At St. Peter’s polling station, NPP parliamentary candidate Nana Akua Owusu Afriyie and former MP Mavis Hawa Koomson were assaulted by men on motorbikes and in a pickup truck.

In a statement, Superintendent Juliana Obeng, Head of Public Affairs for the Accra Regional Police Command, assured the public of their commitment to bringing all those responsible for violence, intimidation, or misconduct during the elections to justice.
She encouraged citizens to assist law enforcement by sharing credible information through their emergency numbers, 18555 or 191.
