The Ghana Police Service has apprehended a suspect, Yaw Korateng, at Nsawam in the Eastern Region for allegedly possessing a device suspected to belong to the Electoral Commission (EC).
The arrest was made on Friday, August 23, 2024, as part of ongoing efforts to ensure security during the election period.
Korateng is currently in police custody and is assisting with the investigation.
The police have notified the EC of the arrest and requested their assistance in verifying whether the device in question is indeed their property.
As investigations continue, the Ghana Police Service has expressed gratitude to all stakeholders for their ongoing support in maintaining law and order during this critical time.
This comes months after some 10 BVDs were discovered at a recycling company in Madina.
Following concerns raised by Think Tank, IMANI Africa, the EC explained the devices were outdated and had been legally auctioned off.
