According to the Ghana Police Service, a man named Sibamay Zakaria has been arrested for allegedly assaulting a Christian cleric at a police station. The incident came to light after remarks reportedly made by an imam sparked public concern over potential threats to peace and religious harmony in Ghana.

The cleric was then seen in a viral video being assaulted by the suspect while at the police station. This video generated significant public outcry, leading to demands from many Ghanaians for the Police to identify and arrest the assailant. The Ghana Police Service has confirmed the arrest of the suspect, and he is currently in custody assisting with investigations before appearing before the court.
The Police Professional Standards Bureau is also investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident, with a commitment to impose appropriate disciplinary measures on anyone found culpable. The Police have condemned the incident and urged the public to allow the legal process to unfold as investigations continue.
