The Bono East Regional Police Administration has temporarily closed the Kwame-Danso Police Station in the Sene West District after some irate youth allegedly attacked police officers and judicial service personnel.
A temporary closure of the Kwame-Danso Police Station has taken place in the Bono East region following an attack on police and judicial personnel during a court escort. This incident transpired on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, when officers were transporting a suspect to court in the Sene West District. The aggression prompted the Regional Police Administration to halt all operations at the station until the security situation could be evaluated and restored.
As part of their response, the police have managed to reestablish order in the area, but their efforts are far from over. They are liaising with key stakeholders in order to resume regular policing activities without further incident. Speaking to the Ghana News Agency, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCoP) Shaibu Abubakari Sadique-Osei condemned the attack as "unfortunate" and called on the populace to cooperate with the police in upholding peace and curbing criminal activities.
The police commander also emphasized the Ghana Police Service's dedication to safeguarding lives and property, urging residents to follow the law and maintain good behavior. Furthermore, he disclosed that the Regional Police Command is collaborating closely with Police Headquarters in Accra to facilitate the reopening of the Kwame-Danso Police Station in the near future.
