The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) James Oppong-Boanuh, says his outfit will clamp down on the activities of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,Transgender, Queer and Intersex (LGBT) in Ghana.

He said since the laws of the country frown upon the act, security operatives will accordingly tackle the LGBTQI movement.

The IGP warned that persons found to have infringed on the laws of the country would be dealt with without fear or favour.

"So far as those laws remain in our statute books, we in the police are going to enforce it".

"If the people of Ghana decide that we are going to legitimise and take it off our books, we are okay with it; but until that is done we will ensure that the laws are complied with," he said as quoted by pulsegh.

Speaking at the commissioning of a conference hall for the Central Regional Police Command in Cape Coast, he urged the police to be circumspect in handling cases that involved the LGBT groups.

His comments come after the Ghana Police Service closed down the recently opened office space for LGBT.

The new office is located at Ashongman in Accra.

Meanwhile, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has also stated that the legalisation of same-sex marriage will never happen in his time as President.

According to him, "I have said this before, and let me, in conclusion, stress again that it will not be under the presidency of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo that same-sex marriage will be legalised in Ghana. It will never happen in my time as President."
