KEY POINTS

• Ghana Police confirmed Benedict Peters was not arrested, only delayed by a road obstruction.
• The police presence was strictly for traffic control due to a temporary construction blockage in Accra.
• Peters has resumed normal activities and remains free of any legal complications.

In response to recent rumors circulating on social media, the Ghanaian Police have officially confirmed that no arrest took place involving Mr. Benedict Peters earlier this week. Contrary to misleading reports, the incident was the result of a simple road blockage and not an encounter with law enforcement.

According to local authorities, Mr. Peters, a pan-African billionaire businessman, was caught in traffic due to a construction-related obstruction on one of Accra’s busy streets. A misunderstanding arose when several onlookers mistakenly assumed that the presence of police officers on the scene signaled an arrest. However, the officers were merely present to manage the traffic situation and ensure safety as the road blockage was cleared.

In an official statement, a police spokesperson explained, “At no point was Mr. Peters arrested or detained. The situation was a routine traffic issue involving a temporary obstruction. Our officers were there to ensure the road was cleared swiftly to avoid further disruptions. There was no need for any form of detention or questioning.”

Witnesses also confirmed that while the scene attracted attention due to the unusual gathering of security personnel, the situation was resolved peacefully without incident. Mr. Peters himself has expressed his appreciation to the officers for their prompt handling of the situation and reassured his supporters that he was not involved in any legal issues.

Sources close to Mr. Peters also clarified that he has since resumed his business activities without any further interruptions, and he continues to enjoy the full support of the local community.

The confusion appears to have been fueled by inaccurate reports from early onlookers who misinterpreted the presence of law enforcement. In reality, the police acted purely in a traffic management capacity and confirmed that no legal action was ever taken.

As the story unfolds, authorities are urging the public to rely on verified sources of information to avoid further spread of misinformation.
