The Ghana Police Service has issued a reminder, emphasizing that the law regarding the communication of prophecies is still in effect.

The law specifically prohibits the public communication of doomsday prophecies, especially those predicting deaths, harm, or any similar events with the potential to cause a breakdown of law and order.

"As we have come to consider December 27th as Prophecy Communication Compliance Day, the Ghana Police Service is once again urging religious communities to practice their faith within the legal framework," the Service noted in a press statement

The Service expressed gratitude to faith-based groups and individuals, for their compliance with the law so far, particularly in communicating prophecies.

It noted that such actions have protected the rights and freedoms of those who are normally affected by these prophecies, and have also fostered a society free of needless panic, fear and alarm.

"We urge the general public especially faith-based groups and individuals to continue to be patriotic and abide by the law, to ensure that the prevailing state of law, order and security in our beloved country is maintained."

"The Police will like to remind the public that while we have the right to practice our faith and freedom of speech as guaranteed by our constitution and democratic values, we want to reiterate that the enjoyment of these rights are subject to respect for the rights and freedoms of others and for the public interest," the Service added.
