About 45 persons are in the grips of the Police in Dzodze in the Volta Region for ignoring the President’s directive on public gatherings.
The 45, who are all residents of the town flouted the directive by holding an Easter Sunday jam on April 12, 2020.
The Municipal Chief Executive (DCE) for the area, John Avorgbedor told the media that the youth were in a party mood when they were arrested.
Most of them were swimming at the time the security personnel stormed the venue to arrest them.
The suspects, including a nursing mother have since been cautioned and released on bail.
The owner of the Guest House where the party went on is in the grips of the police.
“Some are adhering to the directives but some are not taking it seriously, they have never heard about the plague before. We will let them go home any moment from now but we will caution them, the owner of the place will sleep here, we’ve warned him but he failed to adhere so he will sleep at the cell until tomorrow,” he said.
