Ghanaian security and police accountability measures

Overview

Following a security breach at the Ghana Police Service headquarters, Interior Minister Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak ordered an investigation into an incident where a civilian assaulted a detained pastor. The Minister directed the Inspector-General of Police to identify how civilians gained access to the detainee and to hold any officers responsible for facilitating or ignoring the breach accountable.

Expanding on security and professionalism mandates, the Minister later issued directives to dismantle vigilante groups and unauthorized security forces, noting they pose a threat to national peace. He also implemented new restrictions on police conduct, prohibiting personnel from creating social media content while on duty and halting the circulation of videos featuring security institution recruits to protect trainee privacy and dignity.
