U/W Regional Police cautions against mob action on suspected criminals

The Upper West Regional (UWR) Police Command is entreating the general public to exercise restraint in jungle justice and have confidence in the police in matters relating to crime.

Following the lynching of a 35-year-old male adult at Saihei, a small community in the Wa East District of the Upper West Region, the police has thought it wise to caution the public against such inhumane acts.

The Command is therefore appealing to the public to have faith in the police in ensuring criminals face the full rigorous of the law.
