POLICE ARREST TWO SUSPECTS OVER ALLEGED INCITEFUL COMMENTS
The Ghana Police Service, in collaboration with the National Signals Bureau (NSB), has arrested two individuals over separate videos in which they allegedly made comments considered offensive and capable of inciting violence against persons who speak about Prophet Mohammed.
The first suspect, Masud Abdullah, 35 an Imam, was reportedly arrested over remarks he allegedly made during a sermon at a mosque in Ntensere in the Atwima Nwabiagya North District of the Ashanti Region.
In a related development, the Police Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team also arrested, Daniel Junior Yaw Adjei, popularly known as Apostle Daniel JY Adjei, who allegedly appeared in a video making derogatory and offensive comments about Prophet Mohammed.
The Police say investigations are ongoing and both suspects will be taken through the due process of the law.
The Ghana Police Service has also reminded religious leaders, preachers, community leaders and social media commentators that freedom of religion and freedom of expression should not be used as a justification for inciting violence or encouraging people to harm others.
Both cases have sparked conversations about the limits of free expression and the responsibility of public figures when making sensitive religious comments.
