Five arrested by police for posing as DFP agents
Agona-Nkwanta (W/R), Dec.7, Ghanadot/GNA - Five people who
posed as party agents for the Democratic Freedom Party (DFP)
at separate polling stations have been arrested by the
police.
The suspects whose names were not disclosed were arrested at
Miamia and Gyamera polling stations in the Ahanta West
constituency when the party’s candidate Madam Comfort Amoo
denied that they were accredited party agents.
Each of them produced introductory letters purported to have
been signed by the party’s General Secretary, Mr Bede Zieden.
When contacted by the Ghana News Agency, Assistant
Superintendent of Police in charge of Kwesimintsim, Mr Sam
Magnus Reindurf confirmed the arrests.
He said the five suspects who were detained at the
Agona-Nkwanta police station briefly were granted bail while
investigations continue.
Meanwhile, voting that had generally been peaceful and
orderly in all the 257 polling stations in the four
electoral areas in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis has
ended.
Reports from other parts of the Western Region also indicate
that voting was generally peaceful and people were trooping
to collation centres to witness counting of ballots.
