The Police said on Tuesday, it was investigating Madam Anita De-Souza, NDC Women's organizer, over her involvement in some brutalities during the Atiwa Bye-eletions.
DCOP John Kudalor, Director General in charge of Operations, Ghana Police Service said the Police had already taken statements from her, as well as her driver.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Kudalor, who was briefing the press on the activities of the Police, noted that, investigations were ongoing and that at the appropriate time their findings would be made known to the public.
He noted that during the bye-elections at Atiwa constituency in the Eastern Region, the Police were heavily deployed to all the 113 polling stations in the constituency to give protection to the electoral officials, voters, ballot boxes and also to deal with any one who might commit electoral offence.
"The bye-elections were generally a success; however incidents that occurred were nibbed in the bud. Counting and collating of ballots went on smoothly under the protection of the police and the results declared without incidents," he said.
According to DCOP Kudalor, it was observed that during the elections, some political parties organized thugs, who went round causing confusion and later blamed the Police, by making unfounded allegations, adding that, such incidence would not be tolerated by the Police in the future.
He cited the intensification of police patrols, joint training of police and military, establishment of "tent cities", community policing, formation and revival of neighborhood watch committees, clamping down on unregistered motor bikes, as some of the measures taken to reduce the crime rate in the country.
The rest were the organisation of swoops in crime prone areas, the institution of informant reward system, the introduction of day and night checks, public education on crime prevention and the collaboration with other security agencies, to ensure quick reaction to crime scenes.
He noted that intelligence led operations and joint operations with the military dubbed "Operation Calm Life", had led to the arrest of notorious armed robbers, who had been linked to car snatching and residential robberies in the Accra/Tema metropolis.
DCOP Kudalor said between January to date, the National Highway Patrol Unit of the Ghana Police Service had arrested a number of vehicles loaded with illegally imported wax prints and assorted goods, which could have led to the state losing revenue.
He appealed to health institutions and the general public to report people with gun-shot wounds to the police for the necessary action to be taken.
Mr Kudalor expressed concern about the high number of unregistered motor bikes being used to commit crime, adding that, within the last three days, the police had arrested 30 unregistered motor bikes in Accra.
"In addition to the arrest, drivers of unregistered vehicles will be subjected to vigorous checks on weekends, public holidays and after 1800 hours", he added.
