The Ghana Police Service has arrested a suspect in connection with inciteful comments believed to pose a threat to public peace and security in Bawku and its surrounding communities.

Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service has cautioned the general public to desist from making, publishing, or sharing inciteful comments, particularly on social media platforms.
