Police deny arrest of arsonist
The Accra Regional Police Command has denied that a man behind some market fires in some parts of Ghana has been arrested.
Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Effia Tenge, Head of Public Affairs Unit of the Command, told the Ghana News Agency in Accra on Monday.
She said somebody somewhere might have concocted the story and that the Police had never made such arrest.
A section of the media on Monday, December 21, reported that the Ghana Police Service had arrested an alleged arsonist behind the recent Kantamanto market fire.
They quoted an Accra Daily, which stated that the suspect, Daniel Dah Kormlah, aged 41, was identified through police investigations into the Kantamanto fire incident.
