Christian Council condemns assault on handcuffed cleric, calls for calm and lawful action

The Christian Council of Ghana (CCG) has condemned the assault of a handcuffed Christian cleric at the Police Headquarters in Accra, warning that the actions of a few individuals must not undermine Ghana’s longstanding religious harmony.

The incident followed the separate arrests of two religious leaders over alleged remarks concerning Prophet Mohammed.“The CCG categorically condemns any purported insults or attacks directed at the Prophet Mohammed, as well as the subsequent incitement to violence by the Muslim cleric,” the Council said.
