Inspector-General of Police Christian Tetteh Yohunu has urged Christian and Muslim leaders to promote interfaith harmony and public trust in the justice system through their weekly sermons. At a meeting with religious leaders at National Police Headquarters, Yohunu outlined three key measures leaders should incorporate into their Friday and Sunday services.
First, they should regularly deliver messages on interfaith harmony, self-control, and the perils of religious conflict. Second, leaders must explicitly warn their congregants against violence. Third, they should position Ghana's stability as a concern for future generations by reminding their followers that an attack on national peace endangers their own children's future.
Yohunu emphasized that religious leaders have the unique ability to influence the attitudes and behavior of young people. He encouraged them to use routine religious instruction to advocate for lawful dispute resolution over violence, rather than only resorting to such teachings during crises.
