Lawyer and Senior Vice President of IMANI Africa, Kofi Bentil, has described the National Intelligence Bureau's (NIB) attempt to arrest Member of Parliament Ntim Fordjour at his home as unlawful, stressing that the MP's actions fall well within his rights as a citizen and as an MP.
Speaking on Joy FM's Super Morning Show on Thursday, April 10, Mr Bentil raised concerns about the legality and conduct of the operation. "This whole idea of them going to arrest somebody in his house, there are so many levels to it.
Even if the person has committed a crime, and you want to arrest him, you need a warrant.
If you arrest him, he doesn't have to say anything, you have to do the investigations, show him what crime he has committed, put him before a court and have him prosecuted," he said.
