The Ghana Police Service has issued a crucial reminder to the general public, with a particular emphasis on the religious community, regarding the legal aspects of publishing false news, especially in the context of prophecies.
Acknowledging and commending faith-based groups and individuals for their ongoing compliance with the law in disseminating prophecies, the police highlight the positive impact this has had on mitigating unnecessary panic, fear, and alarm within society.
The public, especially those in faith-based groups, are urged to maintain their patriotic stance and continue abiding by the law.
This, the police stress, is essential for upholding the existing state of law, order, and security in the beloved country.
This was contained in a statement issued last night by the Police.
While affirming the constitutional rights to practice faith and freedom of speech, the police underscore the need to exercise these rights with due respect for the rights and freedoms of others and for the greater public interest.
Designating December 27th as Prophecy Communication Compliance Day, the Ghana Police Service emphasizes the importance of religious communities adhering to the legal framework in their practices.
In the spirit of the season, the police extend warm wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to all citizens.
