The Ghana Police Service has debunked reports that its officers failed to provide security for the one-year commemoration of the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election violence. 

In a statement issued by Efia Tenge of the Police Public Affairs Unit, Saturday, the police said, “the Airport Divisional Command led teams from his jurisdiction with three support teams from the Regional Operations Counter Terrorism Unit and SWAT. 

“There were also Criminal Investigative Department personnel, Operations Calm Life (Police Military Collaboration) and officers of the Motor Traffic and Transport Department.”

According to her, there was a 10-member Military standby force stationed at a tactical location to offer the needed assistance when and where necessary.
