The Ghana Police Service has arrested four suspects in connection with a shooting incident at the Iron City office in the Awutu Senya East Constituency in the Central Region.

The incident resulted in the death of one person and left another injured.

The suspects, identified as Awudu Yakubum, Kwabena Essah, Hakeem Bawa, and Issaka Mashual, were apprehended, and one AK-47 rifle with 69 rounds of ammunition was retrieved from them.

According to a statement issued by the Police, "the injured victim is currently receiving medical care, while the body of the deceased has been sent to the morgue for preservation and autopsy."

"Meanwhile, the four suspects are in custody, assisting the Police with investigations," the statement added.

Counting and the declaration of results are currently underway following the closure of polls at 5 p.m. across all polling centers in the country.

The 2024 elections were conducted across 276 constituencies nationwide, with the process being largely peaceful.

However, isolated incidents of violence have been reported, including the confirmation of one death in the Tolon Constituency in the Northern Region.

The Electoral Commission (EC) has urged Ghanaians and political parties to exercise patience as it fulfils its mandate of delivering a successful election.
