Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has welcomed the arrest of people who caused mayhem at the registration center for the ongoing limited voter registration exercise and also for the stolen laptops and Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits.
Kpebu says it is good that the law is taking its course.
“It is good the law is taking its course, It sends a signal that there is a price to pay if you steal government property especially sensitive property like the BVR,” he said on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday, May 11.
The Ghana Police Service has arrested three individuals for causing a disruption at the ongoing limited voter registration exercise in Tepa, in the Ashanti region.
The arrested individuals are Abass Abukari, George Vinor, and Abdul Karim.
According to the police, the suspects were involved in a physical altercation, which resulted in a temporary disturbance at the Tepa Electoral Commission office.
Some people were also arrested over the Electoral Commission’s stolen laptops and Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits.
Joseph Blankson Adumadzie, a Database Administrator, was granted bail by the High Court.
Adumadzie’s counsel informed the Dansoman Circuit Court that they were yet to serve the High Court proceedings on the Police in order to execute the bail hence the absence of her client in court.
Meanwhile, the three other accused persons were remanded into lawful custody by the Dansoman Circuit Court when the matter was called.
The three were Philip Tettey, a 26-year-old casual worker, Benjamin Fienyi, a security man, and Clifford Yeboah, a student.
