The Ghana Police Service has issued a reminder, highlighting that the rule against prophecy communication is still in place.
The law expressly outlaws the public dissemination of doomsday predictions, particularly those forecasting fatalities, injury, or other such occurrences that have the potential to disrupt 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 Police Service said in a news release.
The Service thanked faith-based organizations and individuals for upholding the law thus far, particularly in transmitting prophesies.

It was highlighted that such steps had protected the rights and liberties of individuals who are generally affected by these prophecies, as well as maintained a society free of unnecessary panic, fear, and concern.
“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 would like to remind the public that while we have the right to practice our faith and free expression as guaranteed by our constitution and democratic values, we would like to emphasize that the enjoyment of these rights is conditional on respect for the rights and freedoms of others and for the public interest,” the Police Service added.
