Police arrest two over NDC election chaos in Cape Coast

At least two persons have been arrested in connection with the violent disturbances that occurred during the National Democratic Congress’s national youth and women’s congress held on 10 December 2022, at Cape Coast in the Central Region.

The two suspects, Abdul Halid Shaibu alias Oluu and Ibrahim Razak, who were among the 16 persons declared wanted for their involvement in the disturbances, were arrested through targeted intelligence operations in Tamale in the Northern Region on 7 January.

The two suspects are currently being held in custody and assisting the police in investigations, a statement issued by the law enforcement body said.

According to the police, the faces of the suspects have been shown because they had been declared wanted with their images already displayed in “our quest to seek public assistance in getting them arrested.”

“The targeted intelligence operations are still ongoing to arrest the remaining 14 suspects and we would like to assure the public that we shall surely get them to face justice,” the statement added.
