Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has called for the end of a legal case against an organiser from the National Democratic Congress.
The NDC organiser was arrested in Agona West. This was for allegedly publishing false news and making offensive comments about Dr. Bawumia.
Dr. Bawumia has formally asked the Ghana Police Service and the Attorney-General to discontinue the prosecution.
The request was made through a letter. This letter was sent to the Inspector-General of Police and the Attorney-General.
The prosecution involves charges of false news publication and offensive conduct.
The specific details of the alleged false news and offensive comments were not fully disclosed.
This action by Dr. Bawumia suggests a desire to de-escalate political tensions.
The Ghana Police Service and the Attorney-General's office will review the request.
