\n

THREE people were arrested at Sawaba in the Asokore-Mampong
\nMunicipality of the Ashanti Region, on suspicion of electoral offences in
\nyesterday\u2019s district-level election across the country.<\/p>\n

Two of the unidentified men were held by police for being
\nin possession of a voters\u2019 register said to be a copy of that of Galilee Church
\nB polling station in the Sawaba-Denyasi electoral area.<\/p>\n

The third suspect, identified as a student, was said to
\nhave engaged in multiple voting at the polling station and he was being held
\nfor that offence.<\/p>\n

Public Relations Officer of the Ashanti Regional Police
\nCommand, ASP Godwin Ahianyo, who confirmed the arrest to DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong>, said details
\nof the arrest would be made public later.<\/p>\n

But the paper gathered that two of the three men, who were
\nholding the electoral materials, could not immediately provide answers as to
\nhow they came by the register.<\/p>\n

They were believed to be coaching voters to vote for a
\nparticular candidate, an allegation the police could not readily confirm.<\/p>\n

All the three were later taken to the regional police headquarters for investigations. <\/p>\n
