A statement signed by the Supt. Cephas Arthur, Police PRO, said: "It has come to the attention of the Police that some people are attacking supporters of NDC in various parts of the country.

"Furthermore, there are reports of excessive jubilation by NPP supporters across the country.

"Consequently, the Police are calling on the general public, especially, supporters of the NPP to desist from engaging in any acts that will violate the rights of other people and also breach the peace prevailing in the country after the polls.

The Police also cautioned "those who are engaging in acts of vandalism and rowdism to desist, as Police officers who have been deployed to maintain law and order will not hesitate to arrest and prosecute those who break the laws of the land."

President John Mahama has also expressed disappointment at the inability or the unwillingness of the leadership of the NPP to call their rampaging supporters to order.

A statement signed by Communications Minister Dr Edward Omane Boamah said supporters of the NPP are attacking Government installations across the country.

"President Mahama has accordingly directed the security agencies to deploy across the country and arrest any person(s) caught vandalising government property or attacking innocent Ghanaians," the statement added.
