The police have arrested Mr. Ohemeba Nana Asiedu, a Kumasi-based radio and television presenter, for alleged offences, including the publication of false news, contrary to Section 208 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).
The suspect is currently in police custody, and the case will be presented before the court, the police said in a statement on Saturday.
The arrest followed the circulation of a video on social media showing the suspect in the studios of Wontumi FM in Kumasi, where he was seen urging voters to cast their votes for presidential candidates on separate days.
The police described the statement as “false and likely to disturb the public peace.”
