The Eastern South Regional Police Command, in collaboration with a team from the National Operations Directorate, has arrested 258 suspects in connection with the violent disturbances that erupted at Nsawam-Adoagyiri in the Eastern Region on July 7, 2026.
According to a police statement issued by the Public Affairs Unit of the Eastern South Regional Command, preliminary investigations indicate that some youth allegedly looted shops, set an Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) transformer ablaze, vandalised the Oko Anadwo Palace and an astro turf facility, and robbed mobile money vendors, causing widespread fear and panic in the community.
Police said the operation also led to the retrieval of two locally manufactured firearms, quantities of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp, suspected tramadol and Viagra tablets, as well as several mobile phones.
The suspects are currently in police custody assisting with investigations.
The Eastern South Regional Police Command assured residents that adequate security measures remain in place to protect lives and property and urged anyone with information that could aid investigations to report to the nearest police station.
The Command also cautioned residents, particularly the youth, to remain law-abiding and refrain from acts that threaten public peace and security.
