Oti Regional Police Commander engages Nkwanta community, calls for Calm
The Ghana Police Service in the Oti Region has intensified efforts to restore peace in Nkwanta following recent violent incidents in the area.
The Oti Regional Police Commander, DCOP Alex Acquah, on March 26, 2026, visited the town with senior officers to meet police personnel and encourage them to remain vigilant, disciplined, and professional in their duties.
According to a news release signed by DSP John Nchor, the commander later led a joint security team made up of the police, military, BNI, and defence intelligence officers to the Zongo community.
There, the team met the Zongo Chief, Alhaji Issaka Kayaba, and his elders to express condolences on behalf of the Inspector-General of Police and the Police Management Board.
This follows the death of three adult men in recent violent attacks in the Nkwanta South Municipality.
The chief, in response, assured the delegation that the community is committed to peace, non-retaliation, and peaceful coexistence.
As part of the visit, the regional commander also inspected a previous arson site at Dadaga, where two people lost their lives.
The police command says it is closely monitoring the situation and has urged residents to remain calm and law-abiding.
It warned the public against spreading false information and called for restraint to prevent further escalation of violence.

One of the daughters of former President Nana Addo Danquah- Akuffo Addo, Gyankroma Akufo-Addo has denied claims circulating on social media that she received 25 million dollars to paint interchanges in Accra.
In a statement, she described the allegation as “false” and said no such contract has ever existed, been offered, or awarded to her.
She challenged anyone with evidence of such a contract to make it public, insisting that it does not exist.
According to her, the Art for All projects were privately initiated and carried out through the Creative Arts Agency, with funding from private sector support and personal contributions.
She said these details have already been made public and have not changed.
Gyankroma Akufo-Addo further alleged that the renewed circulation of the claim is a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and damage her reputation.
She added that she has instructed her lawyers to take legal action against individuals, media platforms, and others involved in spreading what she described as false information.
She stressed that she will not allow misinformation about her to go unchallenged.
