Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, a Presidential Envoy, has called for longer detention periods for individuals accused of making comments that could incite religious unrest.
He stated that suspects should be held for at least 48 hours.
Ankrah commended the Inspector-General of Police for the recent arrest of individuals connected to an incident involving a pastor.
He believes this action is a step towards maintaining religious harmony in Ghana.
The Envoy emphasized the importance of swift and firm action against potential instigators.
His comments suggest a need for stricter enforcement of laws against hate speech.
The goal is to prevent the escalation of tensions that could divide communities.
Ghana Police Service has not yet commented on the suggestion for extended detention periods.
