Private legal practitioner Eric Owusu Sae has commended the Ghana Police Service for their handling of post-election incidents in parts of the country.
According to him, the police have exercised professional restraint and patience in managing the situation, preventing it from escalating and creating further tensions.
In a post on Facebook on Wednesday, Mr. Sae praised the conduct of the police throughout the election period.
“As expected, the 2024 elections have been peaceful, and the nation appears to be moving on. However, I have noticed isolated incidents of post-election tension in some parts of the country. It is commendable how the Ghana Police are handling these incidents.

“So far, I’m yet to come across a report of assault on any citizen or gunshot by the police, which incidents are often associated with African elections. I expect more of such restraint and professionalism exhibited by the police to continue, as these traits are a function of a fledgling democracy,” he noted.
So far, over 100 people have been arrested in connection with the pockets of vandalism that followed the elections, with many of them going through the due process of the law for prosecution.
