The Volta Regional Police Commander, Mr Bernard Dery, has dismissed rumours of allegations on cases of death of some party agents in the Volta Region during the presidential run-off on December 28, last year.
“There had been no cases of kidnapping, abduction or death in the region “, he stated, but revealed that there were isolated cases of assault, intimidation, harassment and threats in certain parts of the region.
Mr Dery stated this in an interview with the Daily Graphic in Ho with the view to seeking response to rumours circulating on alleged atrocities meted to some party agents in the region during the last presidential run-off.
According to him, no dead body had been found on land or sea after the elections, adding that all station officers had been instructed to be on the alert to provide information promptly on the security situation in their districts.
He said there were reported cases of alleged intimidation in South Tongu, Anloga, Keta, Ketu-North, Ketu-South, South Dayi, North Dayi and Ho-West, and said all the cases were under investigation.
Mr Dery said with his rich experiences as a police officer for 37 years, he could analyse that the December 7 polls was held in a peaceful atmosphere as was the wish and desire of the majority of the people in the region.
