The Ghana Police Service has issued a statement to address the widespread allegations circulating on social media platforms, which claim that Malik Basintale, the Deputy Communications Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has been declared wanted by the police.
The allegations, which began circulating on Wednesday evening, suggested that Basintale was being sought by the police in connection with an unspecified offense. However, the police have categorically denied these allegations, stating that they are entirely false and without merit.
In a statement released on Thursday afternoon, the police emphasized that there is no truth to the claims and urged the public to disregard the allegations and treat them with contempt. The statement aimed to clarify the situation and prevent any further misinformation that could lead to unnecessary tension and panic.
According to the police, the allegations are baseless and appear to be a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and tarnish the reputation of Basintale and the NDC. The police have assured the public that they are committed to maintaining law and order, and any actions taken will be in accordance with the law.
Malik Basintale is a prominent figure in the opposition NDC, serving as the Deputy Communications Director. He has been an outspoken critic of the government and has played a key role in the party’s communications strategy.
The allegations of him being declared wanted had sparked concern among his supporters and the general public, with many taking to social media to express their outrage and solidarity with Basintale.
By denying the allegations, the police have helped to alleviate any unnecessary tension and reassure the public of their commitment to fairness and justice. The police have also urged anyone with information about the source of the allegations to come forward and assist with their investigations.
The NDC has also issued a statement welcoming the police denial and condemning the allegations as a “malicious” attempt to intimidate and silence their officials.
