Kwame-Danso Police Station temporarily closed after youth attack officers, judicial staff

The Kwame-Danso Police Station was temporarily closed after an alleged attack on police officers and judicial service personnel by some irate youth on Wednesday, August 5, 2026. The incident occurred in the Sene West District when police officers escorted a suspect to court in Kwame-Danso for judicial proceedings.

The Bono East Regional Police Administration temporarily closed the station as authorities assessed the security situation. Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCoP) Shaibu Abubakari Sadique-Osei, the Bono East Regional Police Commander, described the incident as unfortunate in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Techiman. He appealed to residents to support security agencies in maintaining peace and fighting crime rather than attacking police officers and other state officials. DCoP Sadique-Osei reaffirmed the Ghana Police Service's commitment to protecting lives and property and urged residents to remain law-abiding. The Regional Police Command is working with the Police Headquarters in Accra to facilitate the reopening of the Kwame-Danso Police Station once the security situation is fully assessed.
