In an engagement with the media on Sunday, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Grace Ansah-Akrofi, Director of Public Affairs, Ghana Police Service, said according to preliminary investigations, the suspects attacked and caused damage to some state properties, including the burning the Electoral Commission office in Damango in the Savannah Region.
