Police Caution Against Panic-Inducing Prophecies During Crossover Night

As the year winds down, the Ghana Police Service isn’t taking any chances with fearmongers and doom prophets. In a statement signed by Assistant Commissioner of Police Grace Ansah-Akrofi, the Police warned faith-based organizations and individuals to steer clear of spreading fear-inducing prophecies and misinformation ahead of the 31st December crossover events.

“The publication of such prophecies is not only irresponsible but could have serious consequences on public safety,” the statement declared. According to the Police, these reckless acts do nothing but disrupt public order, sow unnecessary panic, and, in extreme cases, endanger lives.

To keep things under control, the Police have beefed up security nationwide. “We have intensified residential and highway patrols, improved traffic management at major intersections, and strengthened security at faith-based and social events,” they assured. They also promised to safeguard critical infrastructure across the country to prevent any disruptions.

But the message wasn’t all warnings. The Police called on everyone to play their part. “We encourage everyone to exercise restraint and ensure their actions promote unity, peace, and security,” the statement urged.

With crossover celebrations expected to draw massive gatherings, the Police made it clear that they’re keeping a close eye on hotspots for social, entertainment, and religious activities. And as the nation gears up to welcome 2025, they wrapped up with an optimistic note: “We wish everyone, especially Ghanaians and visitors experiencing our homeland for the first time, a prosperous and peaceful New Year.”
