Lawyer and historian, Anokye Frimpong, has justified the decision to bypass standard legal procedures in the recent raid on the residence of former Minister of Finance .
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM on February 15, 2025, Frimpong argued that, in certain cases, state security measures must take precedence over strict adherence to legal formalities. "When it comes to investigations, if the state is always required to obtain an arrest warrant and a search warrant, then the government may not be able to conduct crucial investigations, leading to potential embarrassment for the country," he stated.
Citing an example, he added, "Take it like a Bank of Ghana worker has stolen the country's money and is travelling with it.
If you receive a tip-off, would you wait to get a warrant before searching the person?" he questioned.
