Speaking to the media at the Baba Yara Stadium, the venue for the congress, the regional police commander DCOP Kofi Boakye said they will not tolerate any wrongdoing “in the name of congress.”
“Our prime concern is to control crowd. All the laws in the country are applicable here. We will ensure that nobody enters the premises with an offensive weapon… whoever comes with an offensive weapon – knife etc – will be detained until the end of the congress,” DCOP Boakye warned.
“We are going to control traffic around the environs so people should obey all traffic regulations. Drink-driving is going to be checked and those who drive on the shoulders of the road will not be tolerated in the name of congress.
“Those who try to assault people in the name of the congress will be arrested and it will not be treated as a family matter,” the police capo, popularly called ‘Commander One’ in Kumasi stated.
He served notice: “The police are well prepared to secure the place against infiltrators. What we are going to enforce rigidly is that nobody should wear any paraphernalia of any candidate to the stadium.”
