Religious leaders in Ghana have called for calm and restraint amid heightened tensions between Christians and Muslims. The call came after recent incidents involving a prophet and Imams, which had threatened the country's long-standing tradition of peaceful coexistence. The Inspector General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, met with religious leaders and the Police Management Board to discuss measures to prevent the situation from escalating.

He emphasized that violence and vigilante justice could never replace the rule of law, and urged religious leaders to use their moral authority to promote interfaith harmony.
