A security analyst, Richard Kumadoe, has explained that when the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) intends to arrest an individual, it follows a clear legal process, including obtaining an arrest warrant. "If they are arresting you without an arrest warrant, they come with a certificate of urgency.
But in all cases, they will ensure they have an arrest warrant to legitimize the arrest," he said in an interview on TV3.
He dismissed claims that the NIB sanctioned the recent security operation at the residence of the Assin South Member of Parliament (MP), Rev John Ntim Fordjour.
According to him, the operation-which sparked public debate and political commentary-was not led by the NIB but rather involved a joint team from multiple security agencies.
