Police arrest two suspects over inciteful comments

The Ghana Police Service, in collaboration with the National Signals Bureau, has arrested two individuals for inciting violence and making offensive statements. Masud Abdullah, a 35-year-old Imam, was apprehended for allegedly advocating violence against those who speak ill of Prophet Mohammed during a sermon in the Ashanti Region. In a related incident, Daniel Junior Yaw Adjei, also known as Apostle Daniel JY Adjei, was arrested for posting derogatory and offensive comments about the Prophet online. Both suspects are undergoing investigation and will face due legal process. The police used these arrests to reiterate that freedom of religion and expression are not justifications for inciting violence or encouraging harm to others. Such utterances are considered infractions, and the perpetrators will be held accountable under the law.
