The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has urged religious leaders in Ghana to actively promote peace, tolerance, and national cohesion. Following an incident where a pastor was allegedly slapped, the IGP stated that those involved have been arrested and are currently on bail. However, he emphasized that law enforcement alone cannot guarantee lasting peace without citizens embracing tolerance, dialogue, and peaceful coexistence.
The IGP engaged with key religious and peace stakeholders, including the President of the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference, Chairman of the Pentecostals and Charismatic Council, National Chief Imam, President of the Christian Council of Ghana, Chairman of the National Peace Council, and Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission. He cautioned that other African countries have suffered devastating conflicts fueled by religious tensions, urging Ghanaians to protect the peace the country enjoys by promoting mutual respect, tolerance, dialogue, and harmony among people of different faiths.
